Automatic Water Level Controller: Efficient Management of Water Supply Systems

This is an Automatic Water Level Controller system, commonly used to manage water levels in overhead and underground water tanks. 

Components:

1. Automatic Water Level Controller:
   - This device monitors and controls the water levels in tanks automatically. It typically includes controls for setting water levels and indicators for operational status.

2. Power Supply (220 Volt):
   - Provides the necessary electrical power to operate the controller and the water pump.

3. Water Tank (Overhead):
   - The upper tank where water is stored for distribution. It is monitored by the controller to prevent overflow.

4. Water Tank (Underground):
   - A lower tank that stores water, typically filled by the pump when the overhead tank needs to be replenished.

5. Water Pump:
   - This device is responsible for moving water from the underground tank to the overhead tank when needed.

6. Water Level Sensors:
   - These sensors are placed in both the overhead and underground tanks. They detect the water level and send signals to the controller.
   - Types of Sensors:
     - Low-Level Sensor: Activates the pump when the water level in the overhead tank drops below a certain point.
     - High-Level Sensor: Stops the pump when the overhead tank reaches its maximum level.

Working Operation:

1. Monitoring Water Levels:
   - The sensors continuously monitor the water levels in both tanks. When the overhead tank's water level falls below the low-level sensor, it sends a signal to the controller.

2. Activating the Pump:
   - Upon receiving the signal from the low-level sensor, the controller activates the water pump, which begins to draw water from the underground tank.

3. Filling the Overhead Tank:
   - The pump fills the overhead tank with water. As the water level rises, the high-level sensor will eventually be triggered.

4. Stopping the Pump:
   - Once the high-level sensor is activated, the controller stops the pump to prevent overflow in the overhead tank.

5. Manual Override:
   - The controller may also have manual controls (like the ON/OFF button) to allow for manual operation if required.

Summary:
This automatic water level controller system efficiently manages the water levels in overhead and underground tanks, ensuring a constant supply of water while preventing overflow and dry running of the pump. It automates the process, reducing the need for manual intervention and conserving water.
