Water Pump Controller

Here is a simple circuit for controlling water level in an overhead tank. The main components of
this pump controller are a step-down transformer, a 24V AC double-changeover relay, two floats
and two micro switches. Any available relay can be used irrespective of its coil voltage. Of
course, current rating of contacts should be taken into account according to the motor power. The
relay should have two contacts. A step-down transformer having secondary voltage suited to the
coil voltage of the relay is used. As the circuit works off AC, no rectification is necessary. Microswitches
S1 and S2 fixed on top of the water tank are operated by separate floats: one for sensing
the bot tom level and the other for top level. A three-core wire is used for connecting these
switches to the relay
