In this tutorial we are going to make a simple water level sensor or liquid level detector circuit.
Diy liquid level sensor.
The compact and inexpensive optical liquid level sensor is a good pick for certain level detection jobs especially where absolute precision is not paramount.

Features of this system.
Range up to 250 cm ground distance also height of the tank.
This circuit measures or detects a required level of water liquid or any fluid.
This allows us to create a level sensor that is safe for use with any liquid this one will be used in a buggy with gasoline petrol.
Works with any liquid water oil etc.
This sensor can be used for anything that has a large height of liquid to be measured most notably the water level in hydro and aquaponics setups and ponds.
Turns on the motor requires motor driver amplifier below a given value and turns off it above a given value after filling the liquid.
A capacitive liquid sponsor relies on the fact the the capacitance or charge between 2 metal plates will change in this case increase depending on what material is between them.
It is not accurate to a mm but it can tell the height within 1 2cm more than enough for most applications.
Http ali pub 3fgvq water level sensors and other liquids.
Liquid level sensor detects the level of the liquid from a ground level.
The circuit diagram is quite simple with only a few components but it can perform a great number of tasks as a monitor for the desired level of any fluid.
