Freatimetry

Water Level Meter: what it is, how it works and why it is useful

The water level meter (freatimetro) is an essential instrument for measuring the depth of the water table in wells, piezometers, reservoirs or basins. It is used by geologists, environmental technicians and hydrogeology professionals to assess the static water level in a simple, quick and precise way.

What is a water level meter and what is it used for: a water level meter works with a probe connected to a graduated tape or cable, wound on a portable reel. When the probe comes into contact with water, an acoustic and/or visual signal is activated, allowing the direct reading of the water table depth.

It is used for:

• Groundwater monitoring
• Environmental and geotechnical investigations
• Control of underground water
• Measurements in wells, cisterns and technical tanks

Tecnopenta offers a complete range of professional water level meters, designed for environmental, agricultural and engineering applications:

• Water level & temperature meter: equipped with flat graduated cable, acoustic and light signal, adjustable sensitivity for difficult conditions.
• Floating water level meter: ideal in environments with vapors or foams, thanks to the stainless steel floating probe.
• Manual water level meter: easy to use, lightweight and robust, perfect for field surveys and routine activities.
• Multifunction water level meter: also available with temperature or electrical conductivity measurement.

Each Tecnopenta water level meter is built with durable materials, available in different cable lengths and supplied with a calibration certificate. Adjustable sensitivity allows measurements even in highly conductive waters or challenging environments.

These devices are suitable for intensive use and guarantee millimetric precision, even when operated by non-specialists.

Tecnopenta and groundwater monitoring: Tecnopenta supplies, customizes and supports water level measuring instruments throughout Italy, especially in the North, assisting public authorities, technical firms and agricultural companies in the sustainable management of water resources. Each water level meter is selected according to the operational context, the type of well and the hydrogeological characteristics of the site.
