2. Float switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

   A pedestal sump pump with a float switch. A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float. Another common type is a float that ...

3. Sump pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

   Some sump pumps can be automatically powered from a battery backup system, or a separate battery-powered system may be installed, typically with its float switch set slightly higher than the float switch of the primary pump. Using a separate generator is another option. These do often require a manual setup.

4. Grinder pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinder_pump

   A pump for household use is usually rated for 1 , 1.5, or 2 hp. A cutting mechanism macerates waste and grinds items that are not normally found in sewage, but may get flushed down the toilet. The pump has a level sensor either built into the pump, called “sensing bells”, or attached externally to the pump, typically a float switch. (The ...

5. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   The choice of float material is also influenced by temperature-induced changes in specific gravity and viscosity – changes that directly affect buoyancy. [5] Float-type sensors can be designed so that a shield protects the float itself from turbulence and wave motion. Float sensors operate well in a wide variety of liquids, including corrosives.

6. Submersible pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersible_pump

   A 0.75 HP bore-well submersible pump which had been used to pump groundwater One style of submersible pump for industrial use. Outlet pipe and electrical cable not connected. A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in ...

7. Ballcock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballcock

   The float is often ball-shaped, hence the name ballcock. The valve is connected to the incoming water supply , and is opened and closed by the lever which has the float mounted on the end. When the water level rises, the float rises with it; once it rises to a pre-set level, the mechanism forces the lever to close the valve and shut off the ...
