    Use "U" tube pressure gauge. 

  2. Gradually apply low air pressure into "U" tube so that difference of water level reaches 14" (356 mm).
  3. Bind inlet of "U" tube and leave bound for 5 minutes. If water level drops no more than 1" (25 mm) after 5 minutes, evaporative line is in good condition.
