Float Switch Sensor For Water Level Controller With 2 Meter Wire

Overview

A Float Switch Sensor (with 2 meter wire) is a simple and reliable device used to automatically control water levels in tanks, sumps, and reservoirs.

It works by floating on the water surface and switching ON/OFF based on the level.

Working Principle

• The sensor contains a floating body + internal micro switch

• When water level rises float tilts upward switch changes state

• When water level drops float falls switch resets

This action can:

• Turn pump ON (low level)

• Turn pump OFF (tank full)

Operates mechanically without direct contact electricity in water

Prevents:

• Tank overflow

• Dry running of motor

Important Notes

• Install with correct cable length and counterweight

• Avoid direct heavy current use relay for safety

• Keep away from turbulence (waves can cause flickering)

• Ensure proper waterproof sealing

Real-world insight (from Reddit):

Waves can cause rapid ON/OFF switching if not stabilized

Pro Tip

For a fully automatic water system:

• Float Switch + Relay + Motor Starter

This ensures: Automatic tank filling Motor protection
