Antares_9 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Maybe not the most sophisticated thing I've ever seen but the price certainly reflects that. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WATER-LEVEL-INDICATOR-WATER-TANK-METER-SENSOR_W0QQitemZ110465057264QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item19b83b01f0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 hmmm, as you say, a simple idea. Just ten LEDs connected to 10 bare ended wires immersed into the tank at 10% increments. In this day and age I thought it was going to be some sort of echo sounder or something ! I suppose the tricky bit is using some sort of skin fitting to pierce the tank and hold the DIY vertical "rod" in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I reckon even that would be easy to achieve with a length of plastic conduit and a waterproof deck gland, poke the prepared cable down the tube and seal the top with some silicone or liquid latex. A couple of holes drilled near the top of the tube and at interval down it’s length , that would ensure the liquid could rise and fall easily inside the tube.

jimbo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 What would happen though if you got a right wet Manchester Crocodile jammed in the tube touching the wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I see the tube of insufficient diameter to admit such a faecal based antedeluvian reptilie Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I was trying to decode what a "Manchester crocodile" was, and did wonder, but Antaries has cleared the doubt (very eloquently too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I believe the Manchester crocodile, is from the very same genus as the Thames trout. Regards to all................ Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
