IMPORTANT: HOBO data loggers require HOBOware software (USB interface cable included w/CD purchase). See compatible items below.

The HOBO Water Level data logger features high accuracy at a great price and ease-of-use, with no cumbersome vent tubes or desiccants to maintain. This data logger is ideal for recording water levels and temperatures in shallow wells, streams, lakes and freshwater wetlands. The HOBO Water Level Titanium is recommended for saltwater deployment for recording water levels and temperatures in brackish wetlands and tidal areas.

View how the HOBO Water Level Logger compares to the Competition.


  • Lightning protection - no long signal wires, and electronics are shielded in stainless steel housing for use in freshwater (see the Water Level logger sensor location drawing)
  • HOBOware Pro software provides easy conversion to accurate water level reading, fully compensated for barometric pressure (see demo) temperature, and water density.
  • Multiple-rate sampling (see demo) allows faster sampling at critical times such as when pumping starts or stops.
  • Available in 4 depth ranges
  • Ideal for use in wells, streams, lakes, wetlands and tidal areas
  • No-vent-tube design for easy reliable deployment
  • Available in stainless and titanium versions
  • Durable ceramic pressure sensor
