Abstract

Water level indicator is an electronic device which senses water level inside
the water tank and indicates the level on the seven segment display. It also
alerts us when water level is at its peak by buzzer sound.
Sensors use the conducting nature of water as tap water is good conductor
of electricity. Water make close circuit connection between the sensors.
Here we have four level sensor which indicate four different levels that are
low, half, full and over flow level. The low, half and full level is indicated on
seven segment displays Disp1,Disp2 and Disp3 by glowing ‘L’, ‘H’ and ‘F’
respectively. The overflow level is indicated by sounding the piezo-buzzer.
The ground potentialsensor is at the lowest level of the water tank. If water
rises then respective display will glow.
User can see present level of water on seven segment display. Buzzer starts
sounding if water overflow and user can switch off the motor. Thus large
amount of water can conserve through this device.

Introduction

Now a days, there is large loss of water due to laziness of people. We

present here a very simple remedy for providing water level, whenever
water is being used or filled inside the tank at home offices or at any place.
In this, we connect a circuit to water tank with conducting rods
dipped inside water to indicate the level up to which water is filled. We
used here three seven segment display which gives an indication to the user
by showing…….
‘’L” for indicating ‘’Low level” that is there is need to start the motor to fill
the tank.
‘’H’’ for indicating “Half level”
“F” for indicating “Full level” that is sufficient water for the user has been
filled.
When water reaches up to peak of the tank (water touching to the upper
most rod) buzzer starts sounding indicating that user has to switch off the
motor. To reduce human effort further, we modified our circuit as
“automatic water level control”. We connect the motor with o/p of the
modified circuit, which results automatic action. That is motor switches off
and on automatically, whenever it is needed.

 Project Design
(Our Own Circuits)

1. Using 555 Timer

2. Using ULN2003

Implementation
1. Using 555 Timer

The circuit uses a 555 timer in a stable mode with R1=22k ohms,
R2= 570 ohms and C1=1 uF. The frequency of the given a stable
circuit is around 62 Hz.
The two probes which are shown in the circuit should be kept at
the high level for the water. The distance between the probes
should be less than a few centimeters to ensure that the
conduction between the probes will take place when water is
touched to these probes.
When the water level rises to the height of the probes, then the
555 circuit will get enabled and the output of the 555 timer
produces a square wave output with a frequency of about 62 Hz.
This output is given to the buzzer.
The logic Implemented in this circuit is, 555 timer is enabled when
its reset pin is connected to logic high. But initially it is connected
to ground. When the water level is maximum this pin is enabled
and this drives the 555 timer into a stable mode.

2. Using ULN2003

This circuit can be used to indicate three levels of water in tanks.

When metal contact is reached , each Led starts glowing.
When the tank is full buzzer starts ringing along with this all LEDs
 Conclusion & Future Work

1. Water level controller can be used in hotels , factories , homes ,

commercial complexes , drainage etc.
2. Fuel level indicator in vehicles.
3. Liquid level indicator in the huge containers in most big
companies
4. This project overcomes the human efforts to fill the tank
5. It is economical and environmental friendly.

Applications of Water Level Indicator:

The water level indicator is used in Hotels, Home apartments,

commercial complex, and in factories.
The pumps used in the water level indicator are single phase
motor, submersible motor, and in three phase motor.
By using the two motors, two sumps, two overhead tanks we
cannot control by a single circuit.
Automatically the pump will switch ON/OFF when the water level
in the tank is empty and full.
We can also measure the fuel level in motor vehicles
The liquid level containers are huge in the companies

Advantages of Water Level Indicator:

The water level indicators are low cost in the market
Any person can identify the water level easily by hearing the beep
sound
By using this we can control the water level safely and easily
