* Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, accurate Barometric Compensation Assistant data, and a stable temperature environment.
** Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-induced errors.
*** Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Maximum error due to rapid thermal changes is approximately 0.5%.

The HOBO U20L is a low-cost, research-grade water level data logger for continuously measuring water level and temperature in a wide range of underwater environments. It features 0.1% measurement accuracy, a polypropylene housing for use in both fresh and salt water, and a non-vented design for convenient and hassle-free deployment.
Key Features
- Ideal for use in both fresh and saltwater environments, including wells, streams, lakes, wetlands, and tidal areas
- Available for depths up to 4 m (13 ft), 9 m (30 ft) or 30 m (100 ft)
- Durable ceramic pressure sensor withstands freezing
HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure, temperature, and water density in wells, streams, lakes etc - Can also be used in air to record barometric pressure
- The non-vented design eliminates installation/maintenance issues and errors associated with vent tubes, desiccant maintenance, water ingress etc.
Measures Absolute Pressure, Barometric Pressure, Temperature and Water Level
IMPORTANT Requires HOBOware Pro software and either a U-DTW-1 Waterproof Shuttle or the Base-U-4 Optic USB Base Station for configuration and data offload. See Connectivity Options above.
