Is there a way to view water level?

There is no opening in the teakettle. You could remove the lid but it is not easy to remove. My husband estimates amount of water by weight when he lifts it. This our second Chantal and we have had no problem with rusting in either with water left in until the enamel was damaged on the first which was the reason for purchasing the second.

No, there isn't. You have to eyeball it as you fill. Also, you must empty the water out entirely after you are finished, or else the bottom will rust.

most of what I've read online says 7" water level. That level is working well for me.

Yes, You should see water moving. Make sure you didn't get any think stuck in the bottom of it.

Try using the pot as a water-measuring device. I found that the water-level window can be deceiving--it gets fogged up making it difficult to see the real water line. If you add too much water it leaks out through a little whole on the back of the unit and puddles around the bottom.

Check the water level. It's very important that the level is at the top or it will do what your describing!

I know exactly what you're talking about. Even when you hold it up to the light, the water level is not visible. Annoying since you have to shake the iron and make a guess as to whether to refill it. How dumb is that?

Ours is working fine. Did you put in too much water? The different water levels are a bit tricky to see.

We use it in Alaska and can't read the bottom when it is over about 400 ft, but we have siltier water here than in Hawai'i. Also, it is not as necessary to see the bottom when it is that deep for us at least. This is a great chartplotter!

I am able to tilt mine back pretty far, enough for a loose water color, really wish I could upload a photo to show you.

The display screen will show the water level after each brew and will also display whenever the water level is getting to low to brew

Yes you can. The blue body of the iron is translucent and you can easily see the water level.

Yes it displays water depth quite accurately. Had it in shallows ...3 feet showing on the display and when i look over my porta bote it did look about 3 feet. So it works great finding the depth against my lake charts.

Yes, love the iron but I also can't see the water level, also difficult to fill

It does not have an alarm but it is easy to see the water level through a window on the front right side.

Yes. There is a sight glass on the right side of the machine. That is the side you pour the water in. You can see the water level rise when pouring. For that matter you can watch it go down while the coffee is brewing if you are of a mind to.

There is a max water level indicator on the tank. Remember the item or items being cleaned also take up volume so fill accordingly.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question -- There is a reservoir marker (glass tube) on the right that shows (water level) how much water you have added to the reservoir. The water level in the glass tube (marker) naturally begins to go down as the coffee begins brewing and the carafe fills. But quite honestly often times the clear water in the marker tube is difficult to see and you must look at it at just the right angle. I hope this answered your question.
