 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.)  
  There is no patent on this operation --- I think it's "Public Domain."   ( well, it is now... )

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  =  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.)
