Can you tell the water level by looking at it? It appears to be solid but is it opaque?

YES, I can answer this question. You should fill water station to 'water level that is indicated'. You should check periodically depending on the thirst of your pet (s).

It is made of a solid plastic, but as you have guessed, it is opaque. As long as you have some indirect lighting in the room you will be able to tell what is left in the reservoir.

It is opaque and you can see the water level, yes. When it gets close to empty you have to look more carefully though.

No. you cannot tell what the water level it. The container is opaque. I did not find it useful, because the water get's stale and the container is difficult to clean.

Sorry... im not sure. It's strong enough for a ferret to run through, though :-) and yes you could see dirty water. It might b.e hazy a little to see through but is pretty clear.

It is completely opaque. I recommend this highly, an awesome asset to your décor.

No it wasn't translucent, and mine didn't last long enough to see if anything could grow in it. It blew apart after the first few uses. I returned it and decided not to try that again. Sorry I could help me any. Good luck!

Yeah it's not totally opaque. It's translucent to a certain degree, but it's not like clear with a hint of blue. It actually looks like a shiny blue cover. Hope that helps.

Yes it does. When you fill it you can see the marks on the metal on the inside and the see through tube on the outside that has a red line to show the water level.

There must be a slight gradient, but it is not apparent. Water does not pool, it drains really well.

I recall it was translucent. That was two years ago and I got rid of it because it didn't work on my boat.

Its a "smoky" color plastic, but I do not have any problem seeing the water level and/or filling the unit whosoever. Of course, I was taught years ago to have "good lighting at all times" when ironing and that is IMPORTANT at all times. This is the best iron I have ever used in the past 55 years of ironing! For the price, its amazing! It just has a creature-comfort "feel" that is unlike any other I have used. To each his/her own of course. Good luck! Skip...... Don't forget either, this unit is recommended to use ONLY "TAP" UNCONDITIONED WATER! Do not use Distilled water - use straight from the tap. There is a warning regarding this and, in checking with you Water Company if you have "Hard" water or not; if so, then you can use a mixture of Distilled water and regular tap water.

No, it's dark but see-through plastic above the curve and in the handle (see photo) so you can see the water level. The curve is the upper boundary of the stainless steel part.

It can be difficult to spot, but in the right lighting and angel, you can see the water and where it is at in respects to the fill line. Just a little patience. :)

Mine does not have an external water level indicator. I just look inside the pot to see how much water is in there; a minimum and maximum level line is impressed on the metal. No plastic comes in contact with the water. The lid is plastic, as shown, but it does not come in contact with the water.

The tint is heavy, if the hydrometer is a lit display (glowy numbers) then I'd believe you'd be able to see it. Otherwise you'd have to turn on the internal light if you hope to see a non lit display, at the right angle I believe you could read it but it may take some finessing to make work

It's not "water clear" exactly. It has just a slight tinge of color to it that essentially disappears when mixed with soda water.

No. I'm not sure what it's made of, but it is sturdy and I can't feel the water temp through it.

I suppose it could be as it is sealed but the digital readout would need to be positioned carefully so you could see it without too much distortion through the water. That is if you need to see it at all - I have a separate highly accurate temp meter in my tank for monitoring and the D1HT keeps the water spot on for temperature (+- 1-2 degrees).

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