-Once sensor was in place and functional we filled tanks to the point where they begin to leak (not quite full but close: water in big tank 70" deep) because of holes drilled in the side. and we took 20 readings. (raw data below)
+Once sensor was in place and functional on a basic level using the "tinker" firmware we filled tanks to the point where they begin to overflow (not quite full but close: water in big tank 70" deep) because of holes drilled in the side. and we took 20 readings to establish "full"  (raw data below)
-Then we drained the system entirely and took readings with no water in the system, and then after funning the pub for ten minutes each time taking twenty readings as fast as we could type and hit the refresh button on the sensor software.
+Then we drained the system entirely and took readings with no water in the system to establish "empty"
 All this data was recorded in a spreadsheet with notes about where the water had reached.
