Hey, also, why not just find the height of the water level by attaching something ultrasonic to the inspection hatch (or whatever). https://www.adafruit.com/pro

- vosper 5y agoNot only is this a really cool idea, that sensor is awesome! I love that you can get something like that for $30.
- abraae 5y agoNot accurate enough. I want to be able to quantify e.g how much water was used to water the garden. In a 25K litre tank, that's a very small change in level.
- groby_b 5y agoYou'll have the same issue with pressure sensors, though? Maybe a flow meter is a better choice for that. (Bonus, you can use that to cross-calibrate with the pressure/level sensor)
- snovv_crash 5y agoYep, if you use flow plus pressure, you can run an EKF to get much more accurate results.
- snypher 5y agoYou can get ultrasonics with millimeter precision but they're $300.
