| Measuring distance with Lasers, |

Got a few questions.
How accurate?
How expensive?
Will it still work if it hits a liquid surface?
This has to do with fluid levels in my water wells.

Otherworldly accurate.
Fairly expensive ($300-$500 I think).
Not sure about the water. Good question.

I just thought it would be easier than a string line.

is probably the easiest and most accurate way of measuring the water level of a well. Is it a deep or shallow well?
On edit: A laser range finder costs about $300 and is only accurate to 3-5 feet within 100'. Go with the string and a weight.

| 5. Looking at one made by Spectra |
|
Says it's accurate to 1/8 in at 500ft.

| 2. It will disperse somewhat in the water |
|
Try a laser pointer and a glass of water. My dad uses them to analyze red wine.
