Water tank level gauges are used to quickly tell how much water is in your storage tank at any given time. We sells two types of level gauges: electronic indicators and mechanical indicators.
Electronic Indicators
Water tank level gauges with electronic indicators are a convenient way to keep an eye on your water levels from inside your own home or office.
Electronic level gauges consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The electronic indicator inside the tank transmits a wireless signal to a receiver located in the home or office.
Level gauges with electronic indicators eliminate the need for you to go to the actual physical location of the tank to read the water level.
Mechanical Indicators
Water tank level gauges with mechanical indicators work by using a weighted float and an indicator. The indicator is connected to a counter-weight which moves down with the rising water level and lifts up the float.
Level gauges with mechanical indicators are precisely accurate, as the sliding indicator located on the outside of the tank is able to match with the water level exactly.
Unlike level gauges with electronic indicators, those with mechanical indicators will never go down on you. Since there are no electronic parts,no power source is required and certainly no batteries. That makes these gauges an appealing option over those with electronic indicators.
Of course, the best one is whichever most closely suits the needs of your rainwater harvesting system.
