1) Place the reservoir with water level a few feet higher than dig site.
2) Find and place the tamper at the lowest level on the dig site and mark the water level. I used a clamp.
3) Place the tamper where you will dig. If the water level is 2 inches below the mark dig down 2 inches.
Tips: After you find the low spot create a reference point at the same level out of the dig site to sanity check or recalibrate the level. A paver would be good for this.
This system worked great for me for the initial dig. I still may use the jack stand method when it comes time to level the pavers.
Hopefully someone finds this useful.
