Low cost Pump Controller Circuit Diagram

Image
This simple but effective circuit can be used to control water level in a container. The prototype is used to pump water out of a bucket that collects condensation from a home air-conditioning system. The design is based around a 555 timer (IC1). Although the timer in configured as a mono-stable, it lacks the usual timing capacitor from pin 6 to ground. Instead, a metal probe inserted in the water provides a current path to a second, grounded probe. When the water level in the container reaches a third ("high") probe, the trigger input (pin 3) is pulled low, switching the 555 output high and energizing the relay via transistor Q1. Circuit diagram:   Cheap Pump Controller Circuit Diagram Once the water level drops below the "low" probe, the threshold input (pin 6) swings high, switching the output (pin 3) low and the relay and pump off. The two 100kΩ pull-up resistors can be replaced with larger values if more sensitivity is required (eg, if the 555 doesn’t trigger)....

Unique Water Pump Controller

Here is a simple solution for automatic pumping of water to the overhead tank. Unlike other water-level indicators,  it  does not use probes to detect the water level and hence there is no probe corrosion problem. It has no direct contact with water, so the chance of accidental leakage of electricity to the water tank is also eliminated. Two important advantages of the circuit are that the water level never goes below a particular level and no modification in the water tank is required. Fig.1 Unique Water Pump Controller Circuit Diagram:   Fig. 1 shows the circuit of the water-pump controller. The circuit uses an LDR-white LEDs assembly to sense the water level. It forms a triggering switch to energise the relay for controlling the pump. The LDR-LEDs assembly (shown in Fig. 2) is fixed on the inner side of the cap  of  the  water tank without making contact with water. The light reflected from  the water tank is used to control the resistance of LDR1. ...

A Charge Pump Circuit Diagram

A charge pump is a kind of DC to DC converter that uses capacitors as energy storage elements to create either a higher or lower voltage power source.This is a Positive input and negative output charge pump. The 74Cl4 IC is a self-oscillating driver for the MOSFET power switch. A Charge Pump Circuit Diagram It produces a pulse width of 6.5 p,s at a repetition frequency of 100 kHz. When the MOSFET device is off, capacitor C is charged to the positive supply. When the power through the MOSFET switches on, C delivers a negative voltage through the series diode to the output. The zener serves as a dissipative regulator. Because the MOSFET switches fast, operation at high frequencies allows the capacitors in the system to be small.

Two Pipe Water Pump Valve Controller Circuit

Image
The article explains how to control a two pipe submersible pump valve to ensure that the pipe bringing in the municipal water is always given the main preference to the bore-well water source. The circuit is also equipped with a tank overflow cut-off feature. The idea was requested by Mr. Prashant. The Request  I am big fan of your blog. I like your logic and circuit. Basically I am Soft eng but my hobby is electronic. I always read your blog and make circuit. I am happy to tell you that I have done semi-automatic water flow controller circuit from your blog and it is working from last 5 to 6 months. It saved lot of water and electricity. Thank you. First I will brief my setup and requirement. I have 2 pipe attached to water pump suction input point and I operate it by manually. 1st pipe is for corporation water (drinking water come daily at 5pm) and 2nd one is attached to underground water tank. So if I switch on 1st valve overhead tank will be filled by corporation wate...
