Frequently Asked Questions

How does a tank float switch work?

A tank float switch uses a buoyant float ball that rises and falls with the liquid level inside a tank. In vacuum receiver tanks, the float ball is fitted with a magnet or connected to a valve mechanism. When liquid reaches a set level, the float triggers a shutoff signal or directly closes a valve, preventing liquid or sludge from entering and damaging the vacuum pump.
