Float Level Switch
- Float level sensor for detecting the presence or level of liquid in tanks, reservoirs and other containers.
- Uses a floating mechanism that changes the electrical state as the liquid level rises or falls.
- Ideal for water tanks, pumps, automatic filling systems, alarms, irrigation and Arduino or ESP32 projects.

Float Level Sensor
The Float Level Sensor is a simple and reliable device for detecting liquid levels in tanks, containers and reservoirs. It uses a buoyant float that moves with the liquid level and actuates an internal switching mechanism when the float reaches a defined position.
Depending on the sensor design and installation orientation, the float can be used as a high-level or low-level switch. The sensor can be connected directly to a control circuit or used with a microcontroller such as Arduino or ESP32 to monitor tank levels and control pumps, valves or alarms.
Float level sensors are widely used in water storage systems, automatic pump control, irrigation equipment, liquid dispensers, industrial automation and DIY monitoring projects. The exact electrical ratings, mounting method and switching arrangement depend on the specific float sensor variant.
