Important Dos & Donts of Wiring Provisions For Water Level Alarms & Automation

It is essential for modern homes to enhance water management, which often necessitates the installation of water level alarms or automation systems. Incorporating these systems into the home's wiring during the construction phase provides long-term benefits at a significantly lower cost. While this may seem like common sense, it is important to recognize that wiring provisions for water level alarm automation require careful consideration to ensure both safety and ease of installation.

The vedio below sums up in one minute what you essentially need to consider while providing wiring provisions and wires for water tank control systems.

1. The optimal location for installing a water level alarm or automation system is in proximity to the water pump motor switch, PCB, or starter. Therefore, it is advisable to plan for conduit wiring from the motor switch point to the water tank.

   
   

2. Install a dedicated wiring conduit exclusively for the water level control system. For safety purposes, it is essential that no other electrical wires are contained within this conduit.

   
   

3. Provide three 1mm² wires, each of a different color, as the majority of water alarms require two wires, whereas most water pump automation systems require only three wires.

   
   

4. Ensure an additional 3-4 meters of wire is available near the water tank to facilitate the testing of control with water sensors. During testing, it may be necessary to lower the water sensors into the tank for evaluation purposes.

With above wiring provisions in place your new home will be ready to reap life long benefits as below

• Your home will maintain a sleek appearance, with no visible wires or dangling cords.

• It will cost significantly less, as internal wiring lasts a lifetime, while outdoor wires need rewiring every 5-6 years.

• Enjoy years of seamless operation with reliable connectivity for water level alarms or automation.
