save water and save electric with automatic pump controller
This is a float valve. And if you have an overhead water storage tank like ours, installing this will make your life so much easier because it can stop overflow for good and you won't need a ladder ever again. I'll explain why and I'll show you how, in a bit. Hey there! This is and if we're just meeting for the first time, HELLO! And my passion is building, fixing, and improving all sorts of stuff at home for my family and sharing with you what I have learned from experience and from others. For the longest time we have endured with this setup where every time we needed to store water, we had to climb a ladder up and down just to reach and turn on a faucet and do it again to turn it off. And yeah, there were many times we had overflows because we were too busy doing something else to monitor the rising water level from start to finish. So today, we're going to do something about that by replacing this hideous faucet with this float valve I purchased online, which will serve as our automatic water level controller. You basically have an inlet here where water comes in and flows out to this spout.

And you have a plastic ball here -- in this case, a cylinder -- that's filled with air. It is attached to an arm that has a valve on the other end which opens or seals the spout, depending on the angle of the arm. As you already know, gas is lighter than liquid. So the idea is: as water rises, it pushes the ball and the air inside it upwards and in turn moves the valve on the other end to slowly seal the spout shut. Conversely, whenever we consume from this tank and water goes downwards, the ball also goes down, opening the valve and once again adding in more water. It also comes with a pivot point with a wingnut. Loosen the nut to adjust the arm to a desired angle which will control how much water it will allow in before it completely seals the spout. If you want to go high-tech there are also electric float switches sold out there but personally, I prefer float valves because they are mechanical, simple to install, and obviously don't require any constant power source and wiring. As much as possible, I like to keep my water and electricity far apart.
