Water level probe – many applications

Water level probes are key elements in water treatment plants and sewage treatment plants, where they have many applications. Here are some examples of their use:

1. Water Level Monitoring in Raw Water Tanks: Water level probes are installed in raw water tanks that collect water from ground sources. Monitoring the water level in these tanks allows you to control the amount of water supplied to the treatment plant and prevents the tanks from overflowing.
2. Water level control in mixing chambers and reactors: In sewage treatment plants, various mixing and chemical reaction processes are used to remove contaminants. Water level probes are used to monitor the water level in these pools to prevent overflow.
3. Water level control in final tanks: After water treatment processes are carried out, the purified water is stored in final tanks before being distributed to the distribution network. Water level probes are used in these tanks to monitor the amount of water available for distribution and prevent overflows.
4. Water shortage protection: Water level probes can be used to monitor water levels in drinking water intakes. If water levels drop below a certain level, they can trigger alarms that signal the need to take emergency action, such as reducing water use or switching raw water intake from another source.
5. Measuring water levels in filters and separators: Various water treatment processes use filters and separators to remove fine particles and contaminants. Water level probes are used to monitor the water level in these devices to ensure they are operating efficiently and to avoid tanks overflowing.

The use of water level probes in water treatment plants is crucial to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the installation, as well as to maintain the high quality of the water supplied.

Hydrostatic water level probe

One type of water level probe is a hydrostatic probe. It works on the principle of using the pressure exerted by the liquid column on the bottom of the tank. The depth of immersion of the probe in the liquid affects the pressure that is exerted on the sensor inside the probe. This type of measurement is based on the principle that the pressure of a liquid increases with depth. Hydrostatic measurement is one of the most commonly used methods for measuring water levels because it is relatively simple to use and provides accurate readings, especially in static tanks.

Poltraf's offer includes ECL hydrostatic water level probes from the Swiss manufacturer Trafag. The ranges 0…4, 0..6 and 0…10 mH2O of the ECL probe are available immediately. An attractive discount applies to a single purchase of at least 5 ECL probes in the above ranges. The ECL probe has a PZH hygiene certificate, which allows the device to come into contact with drinking water. ECL probes are an economical and universal device for measuring the level of water, sewage and other liquids.

If it is necessary to adapt the water level probe to individual, specific requirements (i.e. non-standard versions), we offer water level probes from another Swiss manufacturer - STS.

LMP - Laser level probe for water, other liquids and bulk materials

A new product in Poltraf's offer is the LMP laser level probe. LMP is a laser measurement of the filling height of liquid and loose products in tanks. Installed in connections with a diameter from DN80, it enables continuous measurement of the amount of liquid in tanks using a laser beam. High accuracy, convenient installation, universal use - all these elements help reduce the costs of implementing and using measurement systems. The system can be used with any medium (regardless of dirt, density or viscosity) because the measurement is non-contact.
