FLOAT SWITCH 5 METRE CABLE

Automatic Water Level Control for Tanks & Water Pumps

Make managing your water levels easier with the DFTS/5M Float Switch with 5 Metre Cable. This practical water level control switch is designed to automatically activate or stop a compatible water pump as the water level rises or falls.

Whether you're filling a JoJo tank, draining a sump or managing water levels in a storage tank, a float switch helps automate the process without the need to constantly monitor the water.

Featuring a 5-metre cable, waterproof construction and a durable design, the DFTS/5M is a convenient addition to suitable domestic, agricultural and commercial water systems.

Why You'll Love It

  • Automatic Water Level Control: Helps start or stop your pump according to the water level.

  • 5-Metre Cable: Provides flexibility when positioning the switch inside a tank or sump.

  • Durable Construction: Designed for reliable operation in suitable water systems.

  • Waterproof Design: Built for use in liquid-level monitoring applications.

  • Responsive Switching: Detects changes in water level to activate connected control equipment.

  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for compatible tank filling, drainage and pump control systems.

  • Helps Prevent Overflowing: Can be configured to stop a filling pump when water reaches a selected level.

  • Helps Protect Pumps: Can be used to stop a pump when the water level becomes too low.

  • Simple Operation: Uses a mechanical floating action to monitor water levels.

  • Suitable for Alarm Systems: Can also be used with compatible water level indicators and alarms.

How Does a Float Switch Work?

The DFTS/5M Float Switch works by floating on the surface of the water.

As the water level rises or falls, the float changes position and activates its internal electrical switch.

Depending on how the switch is installed and wired, it can be used to control equipment at a selected water level.

For example:

  • Filling a Water Tank: The float switch can stop a compatible pump when the tank reaches the required water level.

  • Draining a Sump: The switch can activate a drainage pump when water rises.

  • Low Water Protection: The switch can stop a pump when the water level drops too low.

  • Water Level Alarms: It can trigger a compatible alarm or indicator when a particular water level is reached.

This makes it a useful accessory for automating water management around your home, garden or property.

Ideal for JoJo Tanks & Water Storage Systems

If you use a JoJo tank or another water storage tank, a float switch can help make managing your water supply more convenient.

Instead of manually switching a pump on and off, the DFTS/5M Float Switch can be incorporated into a compatible control system to manage pump operation according to the water level.

This is particularly useful for tank filling applications where you want to help prevent overflowing or protect a pump against low water levels.

Ideal Applications

The DFTS/5M Float Switch is suitable for compatible:

  • JoJo Tanks: Automatically control water levels in storage tanks.

  • Water Storage Tanks: Manage tank filling and emptying.

  • Submersible Pumps: Control suitable pump systems according to water level.

  • Sump Pumps: Activate drainage pumps when water levels rise.

  • Irrigation Systems: Monitor water availability in irrigation storage tanks.

  • Water Level Alarms: Trigger compatible indicators or alarm systems.

  • Domestic Water Systems: Help automate everyday water level management.

  • Agricultural Water Tanks: Support suitable tank filling and water supply applications.
