Float Switches Water Level Controllers
What is a Float Switch
A
float switch is a mechanical sensor used to detect liquid levels and automate equipment like pumps, valves, and alarms. As the liquid level rises or falls, the buoyant float tilts or slides, triggering an internal magnet or microswitch to open or close an electrical circuit.
