Product description
Click for alternative: pond refill system
Refill controller with MIN-MAX sensors and a solenoid valve. For automatic refilling of pond, pool or basin with tap water. Suitable for open water and basins made of metal, plastic or concrete.
Place the water refill regulator indoors, near the solenoid valve in the supply line. The automatic filling system works with 2 level sensors placed one above the other (at different heights).
Applications
Refilling the pond with mains water
The refill controller automatically tops up the water level in the pond as soon as the MIN sensor (the lower one) goes dry. When the desired level is reached, the MAX sensor gives a signal and the solenoid valve closes again.
This cycle can be repeated endlessly, without resetting or programming. So even when you are away for a long time.
The solenoid valve is of reliable industrial quality and fitted with 15 mm compression fittings, for quick assembly without soldering.
You plug the valve into the socket on the refill regulator. This filling system is Plug & Play (see pictures), including 2 level sensors and cabling.
2 level sensors measure water level
With the mounting height of the MIN and MAX sensors, you determine the switching points between which the water level is controlled. You can set this to any level difference starting from 1 cm.
In practice, a larger level difference (distance between the sensors) is better because of possible ripples in the water. Tip: first experiment with optimal switching heights by attaching the sensors to a PVC pipe or a wooden stick.
Once the optimal switching points have been determined, screw or glue the sensor brackets to their final position. The sensors are easily detached for quick checking and inspection.
The connection cables are 10 m long and may be extended (with RJ45 data cable) to as much as 50 m.
