I use distilled water colored with red cake coloring (you can use any color you want) and I use a small plastic medical, inoculation syringe, with needle, to put the water into the small hole in the end of the spout tube of the storm glass. Then I turn the storm glass on its back, let in some air, then place it upright again and hang it on its hook on the bracket, that comes with the storm glass, that I have screwed onto the wall.
When rain, a thunderstorm, or a really bad storm is coming, the water rises in the spout tube of the glass. The worse the weather is going to be, the higher the water climbs into the tube. We had a tornado nearby and about 12 hours beforehand some of the water poured out the top spout of the glass and dripped down into the little round water catcher pan on the bracket below the storm glass.
It works on the air pressure like a barometer except it is a whole lot easier to read from way across the room. Just watch how high the colored water gets in the little water spout tube and that tells you what the weather is going to be in about 12 hours or so. When the water is setting real low in the tube, it is usually going to be good weather.
Don't worry about the water evaporating, it doesn't, provided you use distilled water with no minerals in it. Distilled water has no minerals in it for the minerals are distilled out and the water is soft. If you use distilled water, the water never goes bad and there is not enough of an opening in the tube for the distilled water to evaporate. So the distilled water stays in there for years and years with no problem.
Don't use tap water though, tap water goes bad and leaves ugly mineral residue inside the beautiful blown glass like a big ugly ring that won't come out, especially if you have hard tap water with a lot of minerals, lime or calcium in it. Distilled water works great (not filtered water-distilled water only) and doesn't go bad.
These Storm glasses are beautiful, hand blown glass, and the best part is they really work and they work great. In the hard times that are coming these may be the only weather prediction you will be able to get.
Oh, I forgot to mention that you only need about 2 1/2 inches of water in the Storm Glass. You need to leave a lot of room for the air chamber above the water because that is what pushes the water up the spout when the air pressure drops outside the Weather glass.
Oh and one more thing DONT DROP IT, Good luck and may your storm glass always give you good sailing weather.
My grandfather gave me one of these barometers when I was a child and it broke years ago. Having the barometer brings back memories.
Thank you for an another fine product, Ambient Weather.
Totally lackluster.. disappointing.
Glass is well made with thick blown glass. Easy to load the fluids. I used blue food color to watch rise and fall of the column. Beautifully packed for safe shipping. Of course, the calibration is you...getting used to watching the fluid rise and fall
it rises
low pressure
falls high very simple and intuitive
.Nice wall mount not cheap looking or made
Does one REALLY need to know the 30.25 figure..no!!!!!!!!!
Device starts working after a settling in time of a few hours it seems.
I could not be more pleased ..and it is very inexpensive.. ed
