For Surface water, I want to:
SOLINST VENTED LOGGERS FOR MONITORING LEVELS IN SURFACE WATER BODIES OR SHALLOW BOREHOLES (less than 30m) – important points:
- The Solinst LevelVent 5 is a vented Levelogger – it has a vented cable and therefore automatically compensates for barometric pressure.
- It is ideally suited for recording water levels in surface water bodies such as tanks, dams, reservoirs, streams and also in shallow bh less than 30m deep.
- The LevelVent offers 3 depth ranges – 5m, 10m and 20m (M5, M10 and M20).
- Accuracy of the level/pressure sensor is ±0.05% of Full Scale (FS). Thus a M5 unit is accurate to ±2.5mm, a M100 unit to ±5mm and a M20 unit to ±10mm.
- Burst pressure of the pressure sensor is 2x over-pressure, so a M10 unit will break if more then 30m (10+2x10) under water and a M20 unit will break if more than 60m under water, etc.
- The LevelVent is attached to a vented cable of the required length. The other end of the cable is attached to a Wellhead Assembly which then provides a contact point above water where data can be downloaded and/or the logger re-programmed.

SOLINST LEVELVENT 5 ACCESSORIES FOR PROGRAMMING AND DATA DOWNLOAD – these are the same as for the Logger 5 units:
We supply a range of pocket-type meters from Extech. These units are good value for money and simple to operate. They typically read temperature plus one or more water quality parameters.
