From what I know a spirit level is what you're all talking about
(the one with the little bubble in), a water level is quite 
different and consists of two small transparent tubes with a mark
at the middle of each, each transparent tube/cylinder is then 
connected to a very long flexible but crumple proof tube a bit like
a hose pipe, you fill the pipe up untill the water reaches the mark
in each transparent cylinder.  You put the lids on the transparent
cylinders, and you can check items at long distances to see if they're
level or not, one person holds one transparent tube up to the wall 
or roof at his end and a second person takes the other transparent tube
(on the other end of the pipe), to the second location and holds the 
tube up to the appropriate place, if the water in each transparent tube
is touching the line, then the two locations are leve. And that is a 
water level.
