Float Switches

Float switches are one of the simplest and most dependable ways to sense liquid level. A buoyant float rises and falls with the liquid and opens or closes a switch at a set point to start a pump, stop a fill or trigger a high or low level alarm.

Float Switch Types

  • Tethered cable floats – wide switching range for sumps and wastewater
  • Vertical stem floats – compact, precise point level in tanks
  • Side-mount floats – install through the tank wall
  • Multi-point float switches – several level points on one stem
  • Sanitary and chemical-resistant floats – stainless, PVDF and polypropylene

Choosing a Float Switch

Consider the liquid's specific gravity, temperature and chemical makeup, along with the tank's size and mounting options. Check the switch rating against the load. Many pumps need a relay or motor control panel. Avoid using floats in turbulent or heavily coated liquids unless they're designed for it.

Centro offers float switches for water, wastewater, chemical and process tanks, and can help you match material and mounting to your application.
