Water level

What happens here

To ensure maximum accuracy, avoid common mistakes: first, do not kink the tubing, as this will obstruct the water flow and prevent proper leveling. Second, always ensure all air bubbles are removed from the tubing. Third, make sure not to cover the open ends of the tubing, as this would prevent air pressure from equalizing and the water from settling correctly. Always allow the water to fully settle before marking your elevation.

doesn't have to be level, it's going to show the same elevation on both sides. There are a few ways that you can mess this up. One, by kinking the hose or having air bubbles in it, keeping your finger over the top and not letting the water settle before you mark it. This is going to be dead accurate every time and for just some clear tubing and a little bit of water, it works out really well. Anyways, it's Friday night and I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
