 INTRODUCTI
Water Level Indicator, also known as water tank level controller is a type of
electronic system which measures the liquid within a tank or container to check

ON the water level if it is high or too low. The Significance of this project prototype
is to help the economy save and mitigate the loss of water, by having this
indicator, people will be able to distinguish if the tank of water supply is scant
or overflowing

According to Electronics Hub, “the water level indictor employs a simple mechanism to detect and indicate the
water level in an overhead tank or any other water container”. The purpose of a water level indicator is to gauge and
manage water levels in a water tank. The control panel can also be programmed to automatically turn on a water
pump once levels get too low and refill the water back to the adequate level.

In an actual water tank the working principle of this indicator is quite simple by suing sensor probes to specify
water levels in storage tank or container. These probes send information back to control panel to trigger an alarm or
indicator. The control panel can be programmed to automatically turn on the pump to refill the water again. When
the water level drops to reference probe, the alarm will signal to turn on the pump and once the water is full, fill stop
triggers and system will automatically stops and resets the systems until the water level drops again.

PROTOTYPE
The Purpose of this prototype is to indicate the water level containment
into a container or tank to manage the water fill. Furthermore, automatic
water level controller ensures no overflows or dry running of pump
thereby it saves electricity and water, avoid seepage of roofs and walls
due to overflowing tanks. Fully automatic indication likewise saves man
power, consume very little energy and also ideal for continuous operation.

CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

Suppose the diagram as actual water level indicator, the ULN

circuit driver serves as the connection for the wire ground in
the water tank and resistors with LED lights into the other
end of ULN, while the battery is being attached to the entire
circuit wire to the ULN to give charge. Subsequently, once
the liquid reaches the wire ground inside the tank, it will then
be charged by the battery for the current to flow up until it
reaches the resistor to give signal for the LED to illuminate.
The lighting of each LED will depends on the volume of
water inside the tank from green to yellow up to red for the
indication whether the tank is enough or low in amount.

METHODOLOGY
In making the water level indicator, we will be needing materials listed as follows:
• 3pcs Green LED
• 2pcs Yellow LED
• 2pcs Red LED
• 7pcs 1k Resistors
• 2yards Solid Wire
• Battery Connector
• 9V Battery
• ULN2003APG
• Solder
• Solder Wire

 Step Process
*Prepare the materials
needed to assemble the
prototype
* Arrange LED bulb based
on their signal indicators
* Solder 3 green, 2 yellow
and 2 red tiny LED to the
resistor wire
*Attaching resistor wires to
ULN2003APG
*Gently put the battery
connector to the prototype
*Connect the ground or solid
wires to the other end of the
ULN line drive

 CONCLUSION
• At the end of this project, we therefore understand that Water Level Indicator is a very innovative and advance
system which improves the mechanism of water filling indication in a tank. Water level indicators can be used in
several applications such as in hotel, pools, factories, fire protection systems in buildings, etc. In addition to that, it
undeniably bring benefits in an actual system of water level wherein this indicator is easy to install, very little
maintenance, automatic water level indicators to ensure no overflows, saves money by using less water and
electricity, perfect for continuous operation since it consumes very little energy.

•Water level indicators are important for many different industries. For example, cooling towers use level indicators
to monitor water levels in a tank and make corrective actions based on the level of water. Cooling towers are used to
remove heat from a building. Cooling a stream of water to a lower temperature using evaporation does this. Large
cooling towers moreover are used in industries like power plants, petroleum refineries and various manufacturing
facilities. Without water level indicators, you would have to manually check whether enough water is in the tank and
should your tank ever go empty it could mean your chiller overheating.
