Didn't work too well for me. Throughout the day the other end from the bottle varied as much as 3/4 inch!
Doesn't the extra surface area in the bottle exert greater pressure than the other plain hose end?
Holding the plain hose end next to the bottle showed the hose end 1/4" above the bottle level.
Guess I need to buy some expensive clear hose to ensure no air bubbles. I had flushed out the garden hose real well, but still ...
Did use dish soap as wetter.
Maybe my lot really is near a small slowly moving black hole :)

Using a two liter bottle on one end minimizes this effect. When the
hose/water expands/contracts it is like throwing a bucket of water in
a pond. It doesn't change the water level much.
The larger the surface area in the bottle the better....

Hi Guys,
In my experience, a water level is more than adequate for any construction
job.
The problem with implementation is that the water volume and the tubing
volume
is in a constant state of flux. This changes the height of the water column
at both
ends. Temperature changes, even small ones, will change the size of the
tubing and
the volume of the water.
When checking for level, both ends have to be verified at the same time.
