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.
