Abstract
Water is very precious for the living beings and scarcity of the same is
gradually increasing. Most of the cities in the county and that of the world
are facing this problem. This is one of the motivations for the current work
and to deploy techniques in order to save water and help the environment
which in turn ensures water for the future. Hence, it is of utmost importance
to preserve and save water. In many houses there exists unnecessary wastage
of water due to overflow from overhead tanks etc. Automatic Water Level
Controller can provide a solution to this problem. Automatic Water Level
Controller can provide a solution to this problem. The operation of water
level controller is based on the fact that water conducts electricity. As the
water level rises or fall the sensing probes and circuits of the controller detect
the same. These signals are used to switch ON or switch OFF the pump
motor as per requirements. This system is used to automate the process
of water pumping to over-head tank storage and has the facility to select
the level of water to pump. The logical situations using electronic circuit
manage the system.

Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Water is very precious and needed for many and every activities. The
storage of water for the domestic,industrial, agricultural or other such needs
is very important. The pump motor is of single phase AC and operated
using relay from the controller. The present work do not incorporate any
Microcontroller instead use Transistors and Timer IC555. It will automat-
ically switch ON and OFF the domestic water pump to fill the over head
tank to the set level or volume of water. The main advantage of this wa-
ter level controller circuit is that it automatically controls the water pump
without any user interaction. It is built with simple electronic components.
In this project, The heart of this pump controller circuit is NE555 IC.
Water level controller does help to control the level of water automatically
by using sense probe/circuit of the tank. This system not only monitors the
water level of the tank, it switches ON the motor automatically whenever
overhead tank is empty. The motor is switched OFF when the required level
in the overhead tank is reached along with LED indications. Pump motor is
not started whenever underground water level is below the pre set threshold.
Using this system we can avoid the overflow and wastage of the water.

Literature Review
2.1 Literature review
1.Ajinkya Kaner, Milind Rane published paper entitled as ”Automatic Wa-
ter Level Indicator And Controller(To control water level of overhead tank)”.
”Designed a system with simple logic with LED, resister, transistor and elec-
tronic devices The operation of water level controller works upon the fact
that water conducts electricity due to the presence of minerals within it. As
the water level rises, different circuits in the controller send different signals.
These signals are used to automatically switch OFF the motor pump so as
to avoid the unnecessary wastage of water”.

Project Details
3.1 Principle Of Operation
3.1.1 Block Diagram:
Figure 3.1 shows the block diagram of our project ”Automatic Water
Level Controller and Indicator”.
First block of our 12V DC power supply is provided to our whole cir-
cuit. Next block is our circuit box that means complete integrated electronic
circuit is assemble in the circuit box(including resistors, transistors, diode,
led, IC555, Relay).Now next block is SPDT(Single Pole Double Throw) relay
is using to control a motor. When overhead tank is low level the motor is

switch on, tank start to filling and when water reached along our required
level the motor is switch off automatically.

• Bi-stable mode: In bistable mode, both the output states are stable.
At each interrupt, the output changes from low(0) to high(1) and vice
versa, and stays there. for example, if we have a high(1) output, it will
go low(0) till the next interrupt changes the status.
• Pin 1: Grounded Terminal: All the voltages are measured with respect
to this terminal.

3.1.6 Diodes
A diode is a semiconductor device which allows current to flow through
it in only one direction.That is the current should always flow from the anode
to cathod. The cathode terminal can be identified by using a grey bar as
shown in the figure

3.1.7 LED’s
A light-emitting diode(LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits
light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recom-
bined with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. Color of
light id determined by the energy required for electron to cross band gap of
the semiconductor. We are using three LED’s of colour red, yellow, green.
3.1.8 Resistors
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that imple-
ments electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resis-
tors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages,
bias active elements,etc.

3.2.8 Advantages
• Easy installation.
• Low maintenance.
• Users can control the required level of water in over head tank.
3.2.9 Applications
• Used in buildings where the manual monitoring is difficult.
• Used in industries to control the water level and in chemical mixing etc.
• It can be installed in metro cities where the drinking water is the only
water used for all purposes which keeps the drinking water from being
wasted.
3.2.10 Conclusion
As per our objective we prepared the Automatic water level indicator
and controller.Our System works very effectively.The overhead tank goes to
low level motor will start automatically and overhead tank full then motor
will iff automatically.
