  • I’m really down on the Kohler right now. Last 2 taps I’ve gotten have been Kohler and they’ve both gone to hell rather quickly. Last one the switch between flow and spray would stay in the middle position so you’d have to hold it in one or the other if you wanted either to run at full flow. One before that lasted about a year before it started to drip. IDK, I think they’ve just enshittified to the point I don’t want to bother trying to get a return on warranty. I’d have gotten that Costco kit if it wasn’t Kohler.

    I just went on Wayfair and found a 16g sink I liked the looks of, seems well built. It’s certainly sturdy, way heavier than the one I took out.

    It is much more accurate if you use the pump. I tried just measuring the pressure in the tube from the water column, it was all over the board and the resolution sucked, probably 10X worse. Using the pump fixes that because you aren’t just measuring how much the water compresses the air, you’re measuring exactly what pressure it takes to push out the bottom, which is exactly the water column. It doesn’t take much of a pump if all you’re pressing against is a few feet of water. Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009288427024.html

    I’d just tie it to a heavy nut and drop it in the well. I probably wouldn’t even measure it, just calibrate on some known water levels and watch it for a while.
