Step 2 – Hold to Second Object – Holding your finger over the top of the tube, take the other end down to the object where you need to mark a level and hold in a "near enough" position towards the top of the object Fill the hose with water almost completely (leave columns of air about 5-10 cm long at the hose ends), while trying to prevent air bubbles from entering the hose.

You will need to ensure that it’s the correct length for your needs, so 50 – 70 feet should suffice and a diameter of 8 – 10mm will give enough movement for the water and allow a level to be clearly seen.Before you can actually start levelling items with your water level you will first have to make it, if you’re not buying one.
