Water level measuring method and device

Abstract

It is described a method and a device for measuring the water level in a water storage tank by means of a pressure measuring device comprising a pressure gauge, a pressurising bulb and a tubing. The pressure measuring device is provided in an enclosure and the tubing comprises an inner tubing coupling the pressure gauge and the pressurising bulb inside the enclosure, and an outer tubing having one end which is branched from the inner tubing and exits the enclosure. The other outer tubing end while joined to a dead weight is advantageously capable of being conveyed through an overflow or aerating tank piping to the bottom of the water storage tank. The enclosure protects the device against mechanical damage, dust and dirt, as well as moisture and light. This is particularly important in rural areas where life- and environmental circumstances leave much to be desired.
