The Liquid Level Control systems are used to accomplish
five different functions:
• Water Makeup
• High Water Alarm
• Low Water Alarm
• High Water Cutoff
• Low Water Cutoff
The most common application of a water level control
system is water makeup. The system regulates the amount
of water in the tower basin and keeps it within normal
operating levels. This makeup system is used to control
a remotely installed water solenoid valve. When the water
level drops below a prescribed, preset level, the solenoid
valve is energized by the control system to fill the basin
to its proper level.

High and low water alarms can be utilized to give warn-
ings associated with abnormal operating water levels. To
provide indication of these types of alerts, the control sys-
tem provides dry contacts to interface with various digital
control systems or can be connected to user supplied alarm
indicators to signal when corrective action is required.
Low-water cutoffs are commonly used to protect pumps
from operating without sufficient water. When used in
unattended operating environments, the low-water cutoff
is configured to shut the pump off, thus preventing costly
repairs. Dry contacts can be wired directly in series with
pilot duty controls or to digital control systems to initiate
the shutdown of protected equipment during low-water
situations.
