This allows pumps, valves or control relays to be switched automatically for filling or emptying applications without requiring electronic sensing probes inside the tank.
The LVFSA1D20 is specifically engineered for drinking water installations, combining an ACS-certified cable with a polypropylene float and stainless steel counterweight. Its 20 m cable and IP68 construction make it suitable for deep tanks, reservoirs and water storage systems where reliable submerged level monitoring is required.
Typical Applications
- Drinking water storage tanks.
- Potable water reservoirs.
- Pump filling and emptying control.
- Building water management systems.
