A float switch is a device that is used to detect the level of water in a tank. Based on the water level, it will open or close an electrical circuit generally used to pump water in or out of the tank.
The float switch moves with the water level up and down. An internal mechanical switch opens or closes an electrical circuit with gravity. The electrical circuit can then be used to turn on/off equipment, like a water pump.
The float switch monitors the level of water in a tank. It then opens or closes an electrical circuit based on the water level and wiring to control external components.
The float switch is installed in a water tank. First, a pre-set level needs to be made and can be done with a counterweight. Then, based on a normally open or closed wiring configuration, the float switch will open or close the electrical circuit based on its movement up or down with the liquid level.
A float switch can be wired in the normally open or normally closed position. A normally open position is open when down (low water level) and a normally closed position is closed when down. The open or closed position refers to the electrical circuit.

Glad that I found your video. I had not considered a second float switch in my lower supply bulk tank, only in my upper house supply tank. Smart to protect the pump if the lower bulk tank level drops too low to refill the house supply tank.

Good video. Question : was there there only one pump used to fill for both tanks? And secondly the tanks are independent ?
@electreca1
@electreca1 2 года назад
The pump only fill one tank, and the second tank is filled by gravity or by well in case its sump.
@ekiabonny5388
@ekiabonny5388 7 месяцев назад
This is great! In most cases people think of only overhead tank forgetting to protect the pump from incident where by supply won't be there when needed to feel the overhead tank. Otherwise I think if you're getting supply direct from the swamp or River directly, then there won't be need for float switch in the side of underground tank. ❤

Can you connect a float switch directly to a pump. For instance I have a simple garden pump connected to a tank that that I fill with greywater. Can I connect a float directly to the pump or should I rather use a relay switch?

You cant use float switch directly, use a contactor or relay.

@JerryDoe
@JerryDoe 3 месяца назад
yeah that is not the way to do it ! if the float switch has any leakage you can create dangerous currents traveling up to the showerhead or tap. you need to wire it through a contactor especially with higher amps, float switches are not designed to run a motor directly. This is why we have electricians !

@@veporelijah2533 There is no neutral on the float switch. Black wire is common/supply, brown wire supply the contactor if you want to fill the tank, blue wire supply the contactor if you want to empty the tank. Watch that same video carefully and you will get the concept.
