Abstract

Power outage is a common phenomenon in some places in Nigeria. With a manual pumping system, a user must be involved in pump switching for water level control. This is sometimes challenging when the user is not available or busy with other activities when the power supply is restored. This can result in water shortage in tanks, wastage from overflow and energy waste operating pump when tank overflows, etc. The use of automatic water level controllers will ensure the availability of water in tanks, conserve energy by turning off the pump when the tank is full and reduces the utility bills by cutting water and electricity wastage. In this work, float switches and a solenoid valve are used to control water levels in the network of tanks comprising two overhead tanks and one ground tank. The system has been found to eliminate human existence and cut the waste of water and electricity due to overflow
