Float Switch Sensor For Water Level Controller With 2 Meter Wire

₹231.00

📌 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

🔄 Working Example

Water Level	Float Position	Action
Low	Down	Pump ON
High	Up	Pump OFF

👉 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
