Lovato Electric LVFSP1W10 Float Switch with 10m PVC Cable for Clean and Grey Water with Counterweight

The Lovato Electric LVFSP1W10 is a professional-grade float switch engineered for the automatic level control of liquids in various industrial and domestic settings. Designed specifically for use with clean and grey water, this device provides a dependable solution for monitoring fluid levels in tanks, reservoirs, and sumps. The unit comes pre-assembled with a 10-meter PVC cable and a dedicated counterweight, facilitating easy installation and reliable switching performance even in challenging environments.

Advantages

This float switch offers exceptional durability and operational consistency due to its robust construction and high-quality materials. The inclusion of a 10-meter cable provides significant flexibility for deep tank installations, while the integrated counterweight ensures the switch maintains the correct orientation for accurate activation. By automating pump operations, it effectively prevents dry running, which protects pumping equipment from premature wear and potential failure. Its design is optimized for long-term use in water management systems, ensuring minimal maintenance requirements and consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Automatic control of submersible pumps
• Monitoring liquid levels in water tanks and reservoirs
• Preventing dry running in pumping systems
• Managing grey water drainage applications
• Industrial and residential water level regulation

When it may not be suitable

This float switch is not intended for use with highly corrosive chemicals, aggressive industrial solvents, or liquids containing high concentrations of solid debris that could obstruct the float mechanism. It is also not suitable for high-temperature environments exceeding the manufacturer's specified thermal limits.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Cable material: PVC
• Application: Clean and grey water
• Included accessories: Counterweight
• Function: Automatic level control

How to use

To install the device, secure the cable at the desired height within the tank to set the switching points. The counterweight should be positioned on the cable to allow the float to tilt correctly as the water level rises and falls. Once positioned, connect the switch wiring to your pump control circuit according to the electrical diagram. Ensure all connections are waterproof and properly insulated to prevent electrical faults.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the PVC cable with the specific liquid type
• Ensure the 10-meter cable length is sufficient for your tank depth
• Check the electrical rating of your pump against the switch capacity
• Confirm the mounting space is adequate for the float movement

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the float switch and cable for any signs of physical damage or debris accumulation to ensure the device remains free-moving and responsive. Periodically test the switching function to confirm that the pump activates and deactivates at the intended levels.
