Filling the storm glass 

Each  Storm Glass  is  hand  blown  and  accurately  forecasts  changes  in  the  weather  hours  in  advance. 
The Storm Glass should be filled with distilled water which decreases the chance of streaks being left 
on the glass. Using the enclosed tools filling the Storm Glass is a simple procedure. 

1.

 

Fill the syringe (included in the package) the colored water (use food coloring). 

2.

 

Attach the syringe to the inlet of plastic tube (included in the package). 

3.

 

Turn the storm glass 

upside down

. This is to ensure the liquid does not flow out. 

4.

 

Gently push the tube into the storm glass through the inlet of the spout until the end of  the 
tube has reached the bottom of the storm glasses bulb. 

5.

 

Slowly inject the liquid into the storm glass until half of the bulb is filled, as shown in Figure 
1.
 

6.

 

Turn the storm glass over to its proper position (

do not

 remove the syringe). 

7.

 

Add more liquid until the water level reaches the height of the arrow in Figure 1 above 

8.

 

You may have to  add or  remove liquid after observing the storm  glass for several  days and 
comparing to current and predicted weather conditions. 

9.

 

Note  that  evaporation  is  normal  over  time  and  the  storm  glass  must  be  topped  off 
occasionally. 

 

4.3

 

Emptying the storm glass 

1.

 

Attach the syringe to the long plastic tube. 

2.

 

Put the storm glass in an upright position. 

3.

 

Insert the tube into the storm glass until it reaches the bottom of the bulb. 

4.

 

Slowly pump the liquid out until all of the liquid is gone.
