Which CentriPro Float Switch is right for you?

Centripro float switches are a kind of sensor device. They help detect the level of fluid in a container or a tank. They can open or close an electric circuit. They are used in devices like pumps and other solenoid devices to control the liquid’s flow and level.

Electromechanical float switches such as Centripro float switches create an open/close electrical circuit when the liquid reaches a certain level to start/stop the liquid’s flow.

Centripro float switches, like any other float switch, have a hollow floating body with a reed switch and magnet. There are slight variations in different types of float switches. There is an external counterweight in some switches. The purpose of the reed switch is to create an open or closed circuit. When the magnet gets close to the reed switch, a closed switch is created, and an open circuit is created when the magnet moves away.

There are two main categories of floats – control switches and pump switches. Pump switches are used when a submersible pump is needed to be turned off or on. The control switches, connected to a control panel are mainly used for sounding an alarm against high water.
