Solinst Levelogger 5 Junior Water Level Loggers

Overview
The Solinst Levelogger 5 Junior provides an inexpensive alternative for measuring groundwater and surface water levels and temperature. The Levelogger 5 Junior combines a pressure sensor, temperature detector, a datalogger, and 5-year battery (based on a 1-minute sampling rate) in one compact 22mm x 160mm (7/8" x 6.3") stainless steel housing.

Durable
The Levelogger 5 Junior records absolute pressure using the same durable Hastelloy pressure sensor as the Levelogger 5. The Hastelloy sensor performs well in harsh environments and can withstand 2 times overpressure without permanent damage.

Data Storage
The Levelogger 5 Junior features a memory with a capacity of 75,000 sets of temperature and water level data points. Readings are linear at a user-defined interval between 0.5 seconds to 99 hours. Accuracy is 0.1% FS with lifetime factory calibration. Real Time View option allows immediate viewing of live water level and temperature readings, independent of scheduled programming intervals.

Questions & Answers
Can Leveloggers be used in saltwater or brackish environments?
Yes. Leveloggers have a corrosion-resistant coating. In harsher environments Solinst recommends taking additional steps to protect the logger. More information can be found in the user guide, page 76.
Can the Levelogger be connected to an external data logger?
Yes, the Levelogger can be integrated with an external data logger via SDI-12 output through the use of a direct read cable and SDI-12 interface cable (PN# 115133). Please see the Accessories tab for pricing on these options.
Can the Solinst Levelogger Junior logger operate in air, in the case that water drops below what is expected?
Yes, the logger would still operate. These loggers are meant to be deployed below the minimum pool, measuring pressure changes in the well. However, if the level dips below that point, the sensor will not be damaged, it would just read 0.
Once the battery dies on the Levelogger Junior, can we replace it ourselves? Or do we need to send it in for battery replacement?
The battery life on the Levelogger Junior is about 5 years with a 1 reading/min sampling rate. Once the battery has reached the end of life you will need to send the logger back to Solinst to have it replaced at the factory.
Can the Solinst Levelogger 5 accurately measure water level in a 1" well?
The Levelogger 5 is good for deployment in 2" and 4" wells. However, if the inner diameter of the well is larger than 7/8", the logger can be deployed safely within the well without any disturbances.
What is the warranty period for the Solinst Levelogger Junior?
The Levelogger Junior water level logger is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 1-year.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake

A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Source Water Monitoring in Albany, New York: Tracing Water Quality throughout Tributaries

Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute

Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.
