 Mark,  &  list,

        I think you will find it best if you installed a  VISUAL
INDICATOR  GAUGE  on the side of the water tank.   Drill a couple of
holes ( top and bottom ) on the end nearest the edge of the piano, and
glue (Epoxy or Silicon Sealer) a CLEAR Plastic Tubing on the  outside of
the tank.   Once it's installed,  fill it with predetermined quantities
of water and mark the tubing on the outside.   At one glance, you can
see HOW much is in the tank, and then at one glance determine HOW much
to fill back into the tank.

        You'll have to remove the tank and empty it to do this project.
But, it will be so much worth the effort to take OUT  ALL  the guess
work in knowing the present water levels by just ONE glance.   You could
still use the  LOW-WATER light indicator to tell you WHEN to look at the
SIGHT gauge.   The only extra effort in this form of checking is just
bending down to look under the piano at the tank / gauge.  (which, you
need to look at it once in a while to check it's condition, anyway.) =20
  There is no patent on this operation --- I think it's "Public Domain."
( well, it is now... )
=20
Try it.  I know you will like it.  I install this type of indicator on
EACH new Damp-Chaser before I put it in a customer's piano, or a school
piano.   It is  TOTALLY  =3D  Dummy Proof.   (batteries not included...)

Best of Luck,
  ( a former Radio Control Helicopter and Airplane Modeler -- it helped
in knowing little tricks that work in OTHER applications.)
