Product Description

Global Water's WL500 Well Level Sounder sets a new precision standard for well water level measurement.  The Water Level Sounder uses a full depth-rated stainless steel and teflon probe that is 5/8-inch (16 mm) in diameter.  The water level sounder's sensor electronics are encapsulated in a water and dust proof housing.  When the electrode assembly makes contact with the surface of the water, a bright LED glows and a beeper sounds on the reel.

The well level sounder consists of a strong NTS-certified polyethylene jacketed measuring tape that will accurately read to 0.01 foot.  The tape reels are built of resistant polycarbonate (or, for units with over 400 ft cable, of lighter aluminum).

The depth sounder is battery operated, thus there is no danger of shock from an outside power supply.  Two conductors make a separate ground connection unnecessary, so the instrument will function equally well in uncased test holes or in uncased wells in rock.  Water entering the well from casing leaks or perforations about the water level will not affect the depth gauge's measurements.
