Low level cut-out and dry-run protection

A borehole or private water system is made up of many different components and controls. There are two basic ways to protect a pump from overheating and burning out due to a lack of water:

• Borehole water level detection probes: either single or double, specially designed and manufactured for FWT for use in boreholes. Our probes are manufactured from stainless steel with PVC housing (21mm diameter x 585mm length). FWT recommend level detection probes to be installed on every fixed speed pumping system.

• Flow detection: used either as part of the control unit or a separate flow detection system. When the water flow stops a special electronic pressure switch prevents the pump from operating.

Water level detection probes along with telemetry and other remote monitoring can also be used in tank systems.
