Water level float?

[Thepriceofbeauty]

Hey guys, I recently acquired a pvc waterer. I am looking for some kind of float system, perhaps with a pole that can signify what the water level is at. Any ideas out there in BYC land?

Need a pic of your waterer.

Here you go, thanks for looking!

Should be able to easily tap into the side of that near the bottom and attach a piece of clear tygon tubing to show level.

Do you have running water/water hose near your waterer?

Why not add a toilet float valve to the waterer and never have to fill the waterer again?

As far as a level indicator...

You could drill a 1/4" hole in the lid of the waterer. You could stick a 1/4" dowel rod that is the length of the waterer through the hole in the lid. Then you could stick the dowel rod into a large piece of closed cell foam.

This way when it's full there's a long dowel rod sticking out the top. If the dowel rod is barely sticking out of the top then it is almost empty...
