Out of Stock

The ST-70AB Float Switch Water Level Controller is a double-circuit, automatic control switch designed for managing water inflow and outflow in pumping systems. Featuring a stable, solid float ball and a moisture-sealed plastic housing, it provides reliable level sensing for both household and industrial applications with simple 3/4″ or 1″ NPT conduit mounting.

Features

  • Dual-circuit (A/B) design for independent control of water supply and pumping operations.
  • Stable solid float ball ensures accurate level detection without surface floating.
  • Sealed plastic housing provides moisture-proof protection for extended durability.
  • Direct mounting with 3/4″ and 1″ NPT threaded conduits and included L-type bracket.
  • Rated for 5A operating current, suitable for direct control of pumps and solenoid valves.

Description

The ST-70AB is a mechanical float switch engineered for automatic liquid level control in tanks, reservoirs, and sumps. Its principle of operation relies on the buoyancy of a solid float ball, which actuates internal micro-switches to open or close electrical circuits based on preset high and low water levels. The dual-circuit configuration allows one circuit (A) to control filling (inflow) and the other (B) to control draining (outflow), enabling fully automated pump cycling.

Constructed with a sealed plastic housing, the unit is protected against moisture ingress, ensuring reliable performance in damp environments. The design incorporates standard 3/4″ and 1″ NPT threaded ports for easy integration into piping systems, complemented by an L-bracket for flat surface mounting. With a 5A current rating, it can directly switch small to medium-sized AC pumps or interface with larger contactors and PLC control systems for industrial automation.

Key Features

  • Dual independent micro-switch circuits for inflow (A) and outflow (B) control.
  • Solid, weighted float ball provides stable actuation and high repeatability.
  • IP-rated sealed construction resists humidity and splashes for long-term reliability.
  • Versatile mounting with integrated 3/4" and 1" NPT threads and a flat-mount L-bracket.
  • 5A switching capacity suitable for direct control of pumps, valves, and alarms.
  • Low power consumption design for energy-efficient system operation.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for residential, commercial, and light industrial use.

Applications

  • Automatic water level control in residential water storage tanks and pressure booster systems.
  • Sump pump activation and deactivation in basements, lift stations, and wastewater pits.
  • Irrigation system management for controlling reservoir fill and drain cycles.
  • Industrial process tank level monitoring and pump sequencing in manufacturing.
  • Aquaculture and hydroponics systems for maintaining precise water levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the A and B circuits on the ST-70AB switch?

The ST-70AB features two independent micro-switch circuits. Circuit A is typically used to control a fill pump or solenoid valve (inflow) when the liquid level is low. Circuit B is used to control a drain pump (outflow) when the liquid level is high. This allows for fully automatic tank level management within a defined band.

What is the maximum electrical load this switch can handle directly?

The switch contacts are rated for 5 Amps. This is suitable for directly controlling small to medium-sized AC water pumps, solenoid valves, or alarm circuits. For larger pumps or inductive loads exceeding 5A, it is recommended to use the switch to trigger a relay or contactor rated for the higher load.

How do I install and mount the ST-70AB controller?

Installation is straightforward. The body has integrated 3/4" and 1" NPT male threads for direct connection to standard plumbing conduits. For tank-wall or panel mounting, use the included L-shaped bracket. Ensure the float ball has clear vertical travel without obstruction and that the wiring is connected to the correct A (fill) and B (drain) terminals for your desired control logic.

Is this switch suitable for use with liquids other than water?

While designed for water, the plastic housing and sealed construction may be compatible with certain non-corrosive, non-flammable liquids (e.g., some oils, coolants). Always verify the chemical compatibility of the plastic material with your specific liquid and ensure the fluid's density is sufficient to buoy the solid float ball for proper actuation.
