AquaPlumb Water Level Sensor Details

Accurately measure the level of any liquid, including water, salt water, and oils.

Waterproof and resistant

The weather resistant control box will give you years of trouble free operation. Mount the box to any surface in minutes, using the mounting holes on the side of the box.

The sensor cable is made of strong PVC plastic and is also resistant to corrosion over time. It can be trimmed to any length to match the depth of your water tank or reservoir, from 10cm to 3 meters deep.

Connect the sensor to any system

It is easy to connect the Aquaplumb to other equipment because it continuously generates a voltage directly related to the percentage of the cable that is submerged. The output range is 0 V to 3 V, where 0 V is the minimum water level and 3 V is the maximum water level.
Any device that can read a voltage can read the Aquaplumb water level sensor. This includes devices as simple as voltmeters, to more complex data loggers.

Vegetronix modular building blocks

We provide the modular building blocks you need to create your soil moisture application.
With these building blocks, you can create systems that will control soil moisture and automatically control irrigation.

We recommend using the VegeHub WiFi Garden Sensor Hub to read the AquaPlumb, because you can view the water level data on your computer or phone's web browser, remotely from anywhere in the world.

Sensor Cloud: VegeCloud.com, which will graph, store and manage the water level sensor data.

Low power and battery operation

AquaPlumb is designed to be lower in power, so its batteries can last for years. For lower power operation, just turn the sensor on just before taking a reading, and then turn it off, until the next reading.

The normal operating mode power is only 1.2 mA, so this system can be continuously powered in 4-20 mA current loops used by PLA. During calibration mode, the sensor uses up to 20 mA, but this is only used during calibration for initial setup.

Additional characteristics

The AquaPlumb water level sensor can be adapted to any tank depth with a simple calibration procedure.
For your convenience, the end of the cable has a clamp, which can be mounted to the side of a tank, on a small weight, or on a pole, to hold the cable in place. When ordering AquaPlumb sensors, select the power cord length from standard lengths of 2 meters, 5 meters or 10 meters. The sensor cable comes in standard lengths of 1 meter and 3 meters in length.
