THAT's IT! I was just telling my wife tonight that I have seen my brothers crew use a similar method when leveling the concrete during pool construction. They would take a bucket of water, insert a long flex rubber tube to create a level that they could then extend to any part of the pool to get the same exact level as the other side. I was trying to figure a way to implement that principle somehow. I just need to put a length of tube on the outside of the tote connected to the bottom of the toe.

However the more I resolve this issue the more I realize that it's a pointless measurement to take. Isn't it? I mean if like a previous poster said, if all I do is measure the new water then why do I care how much water is in the current reservoir.
Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on . How do I measure water for Nut's As I am filling my hydro res for the first time it occurs to me that I have no idea how much water is in the tank. This is important I think to myself. So the only thing I could come up with is to use a smaller tote and measure the contents by what the label says is the volume of the tote. I hope those numbers are volume and not area. I have a much closer water station but not one with a filter on it. I will remedy that soon enough, but out of curiosity, what's a good way to measure my Rating: 5
