ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a novel design and development of an automated water tank filling system. The system effectively regulates the operation of a water pump by monitoring the water level in a roof-top tank. Key considerations in the design include addressing power outages during pump operation, accommodating different tank dimensions, recording water consumption and implementing preventive measures against dry running of the pump. The installation and maintenance of the system are straightforward. The implemented system demonstrates successful control over the pump's operation, meeting the demands of household water usage. The experimental trial validates the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed design in efficient water resource management.


Keywords: Water tank automation; Float switch sensor; Magnetic contactor; Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS); USBasp programmer.
