The length of the pipe us supposedly as long as you want.
There is some code that needs changed for that. Let me look for it.
As far as putting it in a tank I think a wave maker will mess with the level.
Keeping fish out I would cap or plug the end of the pipe and either drill some small holes or cut thin slits in the pipe to allow water in but keep fish and stuff out.

Re: RA water level sensor ATO for dummies...
yeah I was thinking a jeabo rw4 would mess with it. thats a real bummer as I really like the waving back in forth. I wonder if there is a code we can make to to allow for a % increase and decrease. something like 95% to 90% but it water level falls below 90% ATO kick in?? haha but what the heck to I know I am still having trouble update my RA.
Holes or slots in the PVC pipe will not mess with the pressure sensor?

No as long a water can freely enter and exit the pipe.
You have to make sure the holes or slits don't get clogged.

This is the code for pipes longer than 15"
Line 55 of WaterLevel.cpp
Change this:
To this:
Line 55 of WaterLevel.cpp
Change this:
Code: Select all
addr+=0x03; // Programmable Gain
Code: Select all
addr+=0x01; // Programmable Gain

ah thanks Steve once I get my WLS i'll need that for sure.
