The weighted float and indicator are connected to the counterweight by separate cords, each cord running over a pair of pulleys. When the float is half-immersed everything is balanced.
Rising liquid level lifts the float up, the counterweight moves down, and the indicator keeps pace with the float.
Falling liquid levels causes the weighted float to pull the counterweight up, and again, the indicator keeps pace with the float.
At all times the indicator matches the liquid level exactly.
Why Choose Levetator:
Our first level indicator, introduced in 1985, is still very popular after all these years. It’s the cheapest and easiest to install; suitable for water tanks but not for many chemicals because the stainless-steel counterweight and operating cable is immersed inside the tank. True reading, the indicator matches the water level exactly.
The Levetator is also approved for contact with drinking water to AS/NZS4020:2018
