This provides a clear, real-time reading without needing access to the inside of the tank. The design is pet-safe, rust-free, and unaffected by tank fullness.
Each kit includes the indicator, mounting bracket, recyclable float, cord, and installation guide. The product is backed by a seven-day money-back guarantee and is trusted by rural households, farms, sheds, and properties relying on rainwater storage.

*Amazingly simple to install and works wonderfully. We are having issues with our bore pumping to a concrete tank 450metres up a hill and a leak we couldn't find in a feed out pipe. My husband was up and down the ladder many times thru the day to check water level in the tank as we opened and closed valves, but after installing this simple gadget we could check the water level from a distance without leaving the ground. So much safer. Simply love this gadget.      Buyer: robyn5252

Regards
 
Sally Huxxxxxxxxxxx

* Email: Hi Lou.
 
I recently received two of the water level units, thank you very much for shipping them so quickly!
 
I'm very happy with them.   One is a pretty standard install on a 5000L round metal tank, the other is on a 2000L plastic ThinTanks tank.   That one was a bit trickier as it has supports across the tank from the front to rear, but I was able to pass both the line from entrance to weight and the line to the float unobstructed.   Your instructions worked well, and I was very happy with how the aluminium piece fit the 12mm hole.   
Thanks very much,
 
                    Mel

* Email: Good Afternoon,
 
Have just finished installing one of your tank level kits and I must say it works great!
 
Simple to install and nothing to go wrong.
It's a great product, simple and well made - congratulations.

* Email: Hello Lou,
 
The parcel arrived yesterday & we set about installing it straight away.
 
Your instructions were clear, uncomplicated and very easy to follow.
 
Luckily, we had the necessary items on hand to enable us to complete the installation easily & quickly.
 
All in all, a simple but effective piece of equipment that will surely do the job effectively.  
 
Kind Regards,
 
  Bryan Matxxxxxxxxxx


* This email holds place of pride in our house!
Hi Lou,
 
I just wanted to send a big thank you for a fantastic product!
 
We're locked down here in Melbourne looking for things to keep us sane and so I decided it was time to get a Water Tank Level Indicator.  After a bit of searching around I discovered you online and was amazed with how your advert detailed exactly what I had found with other Indicators out there.  Ridiculously expensive, limited use, impractical, overly complicated, unreliable, the need for a power source, etc. etc.
 
So I placed my order with you and I was instantly greeted with great feedback.  The package arrived promptly and after opening it I found the most Aussie thing I think I have ever seen.  It is so simple and so elegant.  With an engineering background I fully appreciate the amount of refinement and R&D that has gone into it so I was incredibly impressed with the price point you are selling it at.  Everything about it screams Aussie and the instruction set is brilliant.
 
My little suburban Water Tank is semi-partitioned with a hemispherical top so the Indicator needed to be mounted at one end away from the filter-inlet, but thanks to the perfect product design this was no issue at all.  I simply whacked a few nails in a long bit of scrap wood and used some trusty Telstra-cord to drop the bottles in place (I've attached some photos).
 
Everything works perfectly.  Love, love, love it.
 
I have been telling everyone I know about your Indicator and I will be getting another one for the family beach house the minute we get out of lock-down.
 
Thank you so much for the joy it has brought, especially during such a tough time with this bloody virus.  
 
Cheers,
 
Darren McNxxxxxxxxxxx

*What marvellous service. A great product which works really well & cheap as.  Buyer: sdingo030264 12-dec-12

*(Email very long and detailed, edited here)........The watering system has been in place for 6 years. Effective use of this system demands a good water level indicator and the former indicator using a crude vertical transparent tube has not been satisfactory. I purchased your system on-line on the 11 May and it arrived a few days later.
I congratulate you on your use of common sense and a bit of lateral thinking in the design of your water level indicator. I expect my installation to have a long and successful life.  - Pip Hxxxxx, Victoria
