ECONOMICAL PUMP CONTROLLER

quick response, no wear and tear, and he automatic pump controller no mechanical failures. The circuit eliminates the need for any diagram is shown in Fig.2. The device manual switching of pumps inperformed satisfactorily on a test run stalled for the purpose of pumping wain conjunction with a 0.5 HP motor ter from a reservoir to an overhead tank (refer Fig. 1). It automatically switches on the pump when the water level in the tank falls below a certain low level L), provided the water level in the reservoir is above a certain level (R). Subsequently, as the water level in the lank rises to an upper l e v e l ( M ) , Fig. 2: Circuit diagram of pump controller. the pump is and pump. switched off automatically.

The circuit is designed to overlook The circuit can also be used as a the transient oscillations of the water constant fluid level maintainer. For this level which would otherwise cause the purpose the probes M and L are brought logic to change its state rapidly and very close to each other to ensure that the unnecessarily.

The advantage of this system is that No use of any moving electroit can be used in tanks/reservoirs of any mechanical parts in the water-level capacity whatsoever. However, the circuit sensor has been made. This ensures

cannot be used for purely non-conducting fluids. For non-conducting fluids, some modifications need to be made in the fluidlevel sensors. The circuit can however be kept intact.
