Ok, I accept it is not possible to fake the results by tampering with the instruments, but there might be other ways such as the water diversion trick using a hose within a hose. This would make the outside of the hose feel warm. In order to rule this out the the end of the hose should be placed in a bucket periodically and the temperature of the collected water should be measured. Did Levi do that or did he leave the hose stuck in the drain?
