Water level indicator.
Recently I had experienced an avoidable situation that too to my guest in my house.
Normally, our water tank full quantity is sufficient for our family.I do have a standby arrangement and we will use that if there is any crisis. But one day my friend and his family arrived at about 2 pm and gone for bath one after another. My friend as a last person gone for bath .The water in the tank has emptied while my friend is taking bath. With in 5 Mts water was made available and a bad scenario was avoided. This made me to install a device to alert the water level at any point of time to my family members. Though electric level indicators available in the market, it will be useless if electricity fails. So I thought of a mechanical device.
I took the kitchen as the most frequented place and alert signal was provided for full vision and works round the clock 24*7.
The device consists of 2 pullies, one director, one small bottle (or a floating ball) , a piece of pvc pipe,a pointer and a nylon thread.
The bottom of the bottle is pierced to insert one end of the tread and sealed with m seal. Other end o f the tread is passed through the pullies (number of pullies and positioning depends) and tied to the pointer (few nails packed). The weight of the pointer and the bottle (once capped tightly, air inside will make the bottle float upside down.)need to be balanced. The PVC pipe is used to fix the pullies and for positioning the floating bottle inside the tank.
The pointer is hanging outside the kitchen window and always in full view. Once the water in the tank comes down, the pointer will rise and goes down if the water level goes up. This is installed a few months earlier and perfectly working. Two photos are here.
