Water Level Monitor & Pump Controller
Smart water management system with level sensing and automatic pump control. Features LCD display, adjustable thresholds, and overflow protection.
Project Overview
Build a comprehensive water management system that automatically monitors water levels and controls pumps for filling or draining! This project teaches you about fluid sensors, relay control, and automated system design.
The system continuously monitors water levels using a water level sensor, displays real-time information on an LCD, and automatically controls pumps to maintain desired water levels. You'll learn about hysteresis control, safety systems, and industrial automation principles.
Perfect for applications like automatic plant watering, aquarium management, water tank monitoring, or any system requiring precise water level control. This project demonstrates real-world automation concepts used in industrial and agricultural systems.
