    This document describes a DIY project to build a water pump operated by a water level sensor using two copper rods. The copper rods act as a switch to detect the water level - when exposed to water they create a short circuit that stops the pump. The circuit uses an L293D H-bridge and LM324 comparator integrated circuits to control a 12V DC motor pump based on the water level sensor. Components needed include the ICs, potentiometer, resistors, PCB board, and screw terminals. A diagram shows how the components connect in the circuit.

    DIY Project:

    Water pump operated by water level sensor


    (Using two copper rods)
    Today I want share the simple idea how to building water pump for tank using two copper rod as
    water level sensor. This project is suitable to operated 12 Vdc motor pumps. For example like as
    aquarium pump. I have used two cooper rods to detect the water level position which it working
    as the sensor or switch. Initial stage, the two copper is operated as open circuit and pump is start
    to running. When both of copper sense the water through it, it will operated as short circuit. That
    signal from copper will send to pump for make it stop to operate.

    For build this project, we need to integrate two circuits. The circuits are H-bridge circuit and
    comparator circuit. I have use L293D for build H-bridge circuit and use LM324 for build
    comparator circuit.

    Component of my project:

    1. L293D
    2. LM324
    3. Potentiometer 10KΩ
    4. Resistor 4.7kΩ
    5. Resistor 10kΩ
    6. PCB board
    7. Screw terminal 3 way
    8. Screw terminal 2 way

    I have attached my circuit for we share together. L293D

    5V To Motor
    0V
    12V

    LM324

    To copper rod
