Great video! I love the concept of a water level. My first one I actually made like you did with a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket. But then I realized instead of ruining the bucket by cutting holes in it all you need to do is initiate the siphon in the tube sticking the tube in the water right from the top. It will do the exact same thing that yours does seeking the level of water in the bucket. In order to secure it to the bucket I just use a spring clamp with a zip tie. Now your bucket can be used again for its normal uses and there are zero places for leaks to occur. Thanks again

Agreed, especially on the demonstrations. Until midway through the video, I was mostly trying to figure out why I would want such a tool! lol It may actually benefit you to structure these videos in reverse order; demonstrating your nifty tool before explaining how we can make our own. 🤔 Your water reservoir is probably far larger than it needs to be though. Your hose only holds about 30 cubic inches of water, which is just under half a liter. A 1L bottle could be strung over a nail for easy height adjustment. Charging the system with 1L of water should give you plenty of spare volume for water to flow in and out of the hose as you move around. 🤓👍

The demonstration of the building of the level is great except for some parts it should be slowed down. If, like me, you've never seen a valve like that before it is pretty hard to follow what you were actually doing and WHAT tool you were using to deconstruct it. I guess you can adjust playback speed on KZbin, but why should everyone need to do so?

So the laser isn't the be all end all when there are items in the space but the water level won't care, Shweeeet. The bucket is optional. You can just use the hose. The funny thing is that I have seen water level go for as much as $50 for a 50' unit. I guess they used magic hose. Hahaha. Thx again.
@Makebuildmodify5 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, you can make a water level without a bucket but the way you use it is a little different. A single hose is only level and does not help with overall project elevation. While using a hose level the elevation must be calculated relative to each instance of level. A water level with a reservoir (bucket or something of the sort) can be used for both level and elevation measurements within a reasonable tolerances.

Hello, nice! Question : why use a bucket vs filling up tube Thanks!
@Makebuildmodify2 жыл бұрын
That's a good question. The short answer is that there is a difference between level and elevation. When you use a hose with clear ends the water will be level. However, if both ends of the hose move for the next reading then you will have a new set of level marks at a completely different elevation. Generally, when a bucket level is used the bucket is stationary and all of the lines are relative to that elevation. There are some other small differences too but they don't matter too much for most applications.

Excellent description of making one and the use. Remember to recalibrate if you spill any liquid, your water level changes. One design change I would recommend is using a smaller diameter bucket so the whole mess can fit inside a 5gal bucket for storage and transport. Well...as I’m typing this i realize I have 2 suggestions - Because our cold temps here I also use anti-freeze. Preferably the stuff used to winterize RV’s, not as toxic if there is a spill. Some old timers suggested mineral oil because it settles out faster in the reservoir - but that seams really messy if I drop my line.

Thanks. Yeah, I've done all of the above. I was just keeping it simple for the video.

The level for use doesn't change, if you spill some just add more!! As long as there is enough water to go from one point to the other it works. Water is always self-leveling.
