Setup Automatic Water Level Controller System
Here's a simple water level controller circuit that you can build and install so that even when you are not around, your home water tank level is maintained automatically.
In most countries houses and buildings tend to have two water tanks, one situated on the roof and another one on the ground or sometimes underground. The received water supply is allowed to fill the lower tank first, and a water pump motor is then switched ON manually so that the water from the lower tank is pumped and shifted into the upper tank on the roof. Once the water from the lower tank is completely transferred into the upper tank, the pump is again manually switched OFF. This process may have to be repeated quite regularly and at times may become a bit of a headache. Moreover in case one forgets or fails to do the manual operations in time, it may result in an overflowing of water and wastage of electricity as well.
As the name depicts, a water level controller is an automatic device used to monitor a particular level of water (for example in an overhead tank) and restrict it from exceeding the limit. The simple circuit design for such a controller shown here may be easily built and installed and may relieve you from the headache of manually operating the water pump in time.
Advantages Of Automatic Water Level Controls
1. POWER SAVER
Living in an age where we need to be more conscious of the energy that we use, a water level controller is ideal at saving power. Normally, regulating water levels can consume electricity and wast water. However, with automatic controllers, the electricity usage is limited as well as less water needed to regulate a supply.
2. MONEY SAVER
A water level controller helps save money by limiting the waste of water and electricity. These devices accurately regulate how much energy is used to protect against any unnecessary water/electricity usage. Over time, the money saved is quite substantial.
3. AUTOMATIC
Another notable advantage with these devices is that they regulate on their own. Eliminating manual operations with a timer switch, the frustrations of manual monitoring water tanks is minimized. Water levels are maintained at the appropriate levels thanks to the automatic operations of these devices.
4. WATER MAXIMIZATION
On average, water pumps are used more during mid day. A water level controller can maximize the water usage provided during mid day while automatically lessening the water usage at night. This results to an appropriate level of water at all times being maintained, while providing you with the maximum use of your water at the appropriate times.
5. EASY INSTALLATION WITH LED MONITORING
These new solid state electronics, and integrated electronics, offer superior performance, hassle-free installation, and lower cost to operate over time when compared to the lifespan of the original design. For continuous monitoring, the integrated firmware and digital dry-contact circuitry easily and quickly connect to the automation systems of a building. Each function of the integrated electronics and relays use LED lights to offer operators the ability to visually scan them in order to verify proper operations.
