Which one to choose? Practical examples
- Seasonal groundwater monitoring in agriculture → The manual water level meter is ideal for technicians or agronomists who periodically monitor water levels in farm wells. Easy to use and transport, no complex setup required.
- Measurements in thermal or contaminated wells with gases and foams → The float water level meter is the right choice for environments with vapors, foams or unstable surface fluids. The floating probe ensures reliable readings even in non-standard conditions.
- Environmental monitoring in public or industrial contexts → The water level and temperature meter is suitable when it is also necessary to measure water temperature, for example in environmental monitoring campaigns commissioned by public bodies or in wastewater treatment plants.
