Monitor water levels and temperatures in wells, streams, lakes and wetlands (freshwater) with this 13-foot HOBO Water Level Data Logger. With its narrow range this logger provides the best accuracy in shallow waters. This logger offers a great value and easy deployment since there are no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain. For saltwater deployments, such as brackish wetlands and tidal areas, see HOBO U20 Water Level Titanium.
Highlighted Features
Lightning protection - no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless steel housing for use in freshwater.
HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure temperature, and water density.
Multiple-rate sampling allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops.
Available in 4 depth ranges
Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas
No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
Available in stainless and titanium versions
Durable ceramic pressure sensor
3-point NIST-traceable calibration certificate included

* Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, accurate Barometric Compensation Assistant data, and a stable temperature environment.
** Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
*** Changes in Temperature: Allow 10 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.
