We appreciate your well experience. That doesn't change the physics though. I think the confusion comes from the OP wanting to know the amount of water above the pump intake. That can be done without knowing the length of the bubbler tube. If you want to know the depth from a surface reference point to the pump then you would need to use the bubbler tube as a measuring tape also. If you measured the tube length you could know the distance from the surface to the water level and from the water level to the pump.
I am not concerned with anything but the amount of water in the casing above my pump so I do not need to know the length of the bubbler tube.
If you wanted to get fancy, you could actually run this bubbler tube to the home and mount the gauge there. Pump air into the tube until the pressure stops rising and then calc the water column height above the pump.
