Regular automatic / floating electric tank.

Good! I have a question to answer two cases: I want to regulate two automatic / floating electric float + cotrapeso, one in a tank and another in an upper tank. At this moment what is on is Viyilant Brand IT model. For the tank, I want it to fill as much as possible, up to about 10 cm below the level of the pipe that enters the tank, and start as soon as possible when the water level begins to drop ... to optimize, it should be when the tank already consumed an amount equal to the capacity of the tank ... In the cistern, I want you to enable the sending of water when the level is high, and interrupt it when you have about 10 cm (to avoid sucking "dirt"). Now, I know that I should play with the location of the counterweight. In the case of the Viyilant, it must be at least 20 cm from the float. The question I have is more than anything about how the system reacts to move away or close to the float counterweight, and how much should I regulate the "cable" of the whole set, that is, assuming an X separation between counterweight and floating, what happens if I lengthen or shorten the length, moving the whole set? I will thank you for everything you can illustrate! Greetings and thanks!

These level switch floats were not designed for fine tuning or fine tuning. If you want fine adjustments you must use fixed and non-floating switch (with cable). As someone said in another comment, you must use the "error test" technique to adjust a float. Luck

OK, thanks for answering!
Anyway, with what I have, how do you "regulate"? How do you respond by changing each of the "parameters" I listed before?

The counterweight acts as a pivot, the greater the counterweight-float distance, the greater the height of the water. normally float acts 45 ° against the counterweight

OKAY. And with the cable length?
I had this idea in mind:
- With the distance between counterweight and float one regulates "the number of liters" at start and stop ... the shorter, the less "gap". Respecting the 20cms as a minimum required by manufacturer (at least Viyilant). Since I want the tank to empty as little as possible, I leave it at 20 initially.
- With the length of the cable, which definitively defines the depth at which the counterweight remains (the lance is fixed to the float), I define the maximum level of water in the tank (whose height will be the level where the counterweight is + 14cm approx. )

with the cable length you control maximum and minimum levels if you leave the long cable the tank will empty more than if you leave the cable short
If you want the pond to empty as little as possible, leave the counterweight at a height of 20 cm and try, that would be the minimum, that is, the height / edge / counterweight / float height.

Hi. This type of float works only for the length of the cable. The distance between the counterweight and the floating itself is what gives the level. The best is always to try. Regards

Thanks for your answer!
Beyond my desire to learn and / or deduce ... the answer confuses me a little ... first you say that it works only for the length of the cable, and then that the distance between counterweight and floating is the one that gives level .. .
What does the distraction between components affect, and what does the cable length affect?
Thanks again!

no, the position (height) of the counterweight in the tank will tell if the tank is emptied to the bottom or half or a quarter ... then the distance of the counterweight / float will give the amount of water, the greater the separation the greater the amount of water and vice versa

I meant the length of the cable between the counterweight and the electric float or buoy.

Hi. The submersible automatic as they told you, is not as accurate nor as easy to regulate as those of two buoys, although it is usually more efficient and durable if you place one of good quality. The automatic tank tank, at its lowest point, must fall completely (it must be upright hanging from the cable) about 10 cm before reaching the pipe where the pump sucks water. The distance between the counterweight and the buoy should be as recommended by the manufacturer, some twenty another 30 cm. With the tank almost empty it is easier to make this regulation. Hang the entire assembly to the position mentioned above. Then the cable must be tied at the upper edge of the tank (if it is not bored, a small perforation must be done) it is not convenient to do it in the lid, since it makes it difficult to observe and disassemble it. For the elevated, it is a bit more complicated. Respecting also the distance between the buoy and the counterweight, it is necessary to look for the desired upper point of cut. Once located, the cable should be tied as close to the upper edge as possible, without altering the previous distance. That will allow it to start when one third of the water in the tank is missing. Unfortunately, some bring a counterweight that is too light and the automatic can be lifted together with the counterweight, causing the container to overflow. In some cases to correct that fault I have had to add a small additional weight. Important: place both devices away from the water jet that comes from the pump and tmbn. of the mechanical float that brings running water. Regards.
