Product Information
The system is build simple and reliable.
A pressure bulb pushes air into a tube that reaches all the way to the bottom of the cistern. The needle of the gauges correspondes with the depth of the water, as soon as bubbles come out of the nozzle at the bottom of the gauge. After pumping two or three times the needle reaches its maximum height. No matter how many times you pump, the pressure will not alter: You will just push more bubles out of the nozzle, but the reading remains the same.
Practically it means that you sqeeze the bulb two or three times until the needle doesn't go up any further. That's your readout. Simple and foolproof.
Since the installation is easy and fast, the first readout can often be obtained in matter of minutes
How to install
Installation can be as fast as in minutes:
You can extend the tube virtually as long as you like. If the 30 feet from the package is not enough for you, longer tubes can be ordered here or are easily available at your local hardware store.
It makes no difference whether the watertank is above your gauge, on a roof, or much lower in the ground. It can even be a waterwell or a pond that you would like to monitor!
Rainwater General information
For centuries the world has relied upon rainwater harvesting to supply water for household, landscape, and agricultural uses. Before city water systems were developed rainwater was collected (mostly from roofs) and stored in cisterns or storage tanks.
Today, many parts of the world, including Hawaii and the entire continent of Australia, promote rainwater as the principal means of supplying household water. On many Caribbean islands where rainwater is the most viable water supply option, public buildings, homes, and resorts all collect rainwater to supply their needs. In Hong Kong, rainwater is collected from skyscrapers to supply water needs.
If we all contribute in collecting rainwater, we aim for both a better environment as well as economical benefits.

Installation & Product Information
The package includes all the nessesary items to fix it to a wall and comes with 30 feet of air-tube that leads into your cistern. A non-toxic nozzle is prefixed at the end of the tube. Installation Installation is as fast as in minutes! Just find a convenient location for the gauge fix it to the wall with the screws and plugs that are provided with it.Installation can be as fast as in minutes:
- Drop the nozzle in an overflow outlet or through any other hole in your cistern and lower it to the bottom of the cistern, while holding the tube.
- Lead the tube to the gauge, plug it in and fix it to the wall.
- Squeeze a couple of times until the needle doesn't go up any higher, and you already have your first readout!
You can extend the tube virtually as long as you like. If the 30 feet from the package is not enough for you, longer tubes can be ordered here or are easily available at your local hardware store.

Rain Water Harvesting
Rain water is a free source of nearly pure water. It can be used to supply drinkable (potable) water and non-potable water. For non-potable uses, like watering landscapes, it is ready for use as it falls from the sky.For centuries the world has relied upon rainwater harvesting to supply water for household, landscape, and agricultural uses. Before city water systems were developed rainwater was collected (mostly from roofs) and stored in cisterns or storage tanks.
Today, many parts of the world, including Hawaii and the entire continent of Australia, promote rainwater as the principal means of supplying household water.
