Hi,
Sorry, not an answer to your question, but how deep and wide is the well? Have you already got the sensor working reliably? I believe the general view is that ultrasonics are not very satisfactory for measuring the water level in a typical well.
On http://www.picaxeforum.co.uk/showthread.php?29471-Borehole-well-water-level-sensing there was recently a long discussion on some methods (warning: it is a L O N G thread), from some real experts with practical experience on the topic. The ultimate target was to use a completely different (i.e. non-arduino) microcontroller, but that thread was primarily concerned with the measurement practicalities.
Cheers, Alan.
