Follow Physics Phoebe as a sound bench reading can become a believable wrong value at a cold, wet site.
The water-level sensor reads well on the bench.
Cold, water, weak power, and cable strain can make a wrong value look real.
Keep the reading, time, unit, quality, and device name together.
Test faults together and mark the limits you proved.
Physics Phoebe checks a stable sensor beside a known water level.

What can I try when a project does not work?
Check the symptom, then work through the diagnostic steps. Keep the error message and the smallest example that reproduces it.
