Product Description
Water Tank Level Controller for Fast Mains Water Tank Filling and Top-up
For use with automatic pumps to top-up Rainwater Harvesting Tanks with mains water.
The 3P TCS5JB Top-up Switch is intended to maintain the level of water in a water tank by topping up the tank when the level becomes low, with a measured amount of mains water.
Water level in the tank is sensed via a float switch, mains water is added via a high flow solenoid valve feeding back to the rainwater tank.
The solenoid will be activated when the float switch hangs down at approximately 45 or more, the top-up cycle will then continue until the float switch reaches an upward angle of approximately 45 degrees, ensuring a measured quantity of water is introduced to the tank.
1/2” version is supplied with a tundish and mounting bracket meeting the requirements of BS EN 13076, versions 3/4” and above require an air gap to be formed during installation.
A 24vdc version of this top-up controller is also available.
