But to compensate for long-term aquarium evaporation, it is far more convenient to use ahydrometerto characterize the specific gravity while adding pure water as needed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
When the solution is cool, the gravity is read byhydrometer, and small quantities of water or concentrated potash solution are added till the required gravity is obtained.
