Re: Water level (Manometer)
1) Why?

2) For what purpose?

3) Comparing what to what?

4) Discard the water level, it tells you nothing other than what is level.

5) You can buy pressure measuring devices which use water (i.e., the real things, to read inches of water column), however, you are better off to buy a manometer, dual type, so you can measure (as an example) the pressure on each side of a door at the same time, inside/outside at the same time, etc., to obtain a pressure difference.

6) I have one.

7) I have r-a-r-e-l-y_u-s-e-d_i-t, and only then for special purpose inspections.

8) I would stay away from them unless you know how to use them (maybe you do?).

9) I would keep them out of, and away from, your home inspections.

10) If there seems to be a problem ... what type of problems are you trying to investigate?
