This automatic plant watering circuit can be used for automatically sensing soil humidity and triggering a water pump when the ground gets parched below a predetermined level (adjustable). Circuit Operation The circuit is rather straightforward and uses a single IC 555 as the main active component.Referring to the automatic plant irrigation circuit shown below we […]

Anti-Corrosion Probes for Water Level Controller
In this post I have explained a few interesting methods of constructing anti-corrosion probes for water level sensor and controller circuits by using alternating supply across the probes. Using Bridge Rectifiers (New Update) This simple anti-corrosion probe idea using bridge rectifiers happened to strike me recently and I decided to post it here for you […]
Float Switch Controlled Water Level Controller Circuit
The post narrates a simple water level controller circuit using a float switch mechanism. The idea was requested by Mr. tpraveenraj. Technical Specifications I’m a electronic hobbyist from software field. So I try with the things in the weekend. I saw your blog recently and really admired to test this circuit, and when I went […]
Municipal Water Supply Sensor Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple water sensor with pump starter circuit for switching a pump motor during municipal water supply periods. The idea was requested by Mr. Hitesh Thapa. Technical Specifications Is it possible to make a automatic water pump starter which turns On only when the city supply line has water […]
Capacitive Fluid Meter Circuit for Sealed Tanks
At times it becomes important to determine the amount of water inside a sealed tank, by employing a stationery sensor. A sensible remedy to the issue is to make use of a cylindrical capacitor concept. One plate of the capacitor is created with the liquid surrounding an insulated conductor, where insulation of the conductor works […]
Timer based Water Level Controller Circuit
The explained circuit of a water level controller circuit is based on a adjustable timer circuit whose time delay is first adjusted to match the filling time of the tank, as the the tank fills, the timer delay also simultaneously lapses and its output switches OFF the water pump. Circuit Specifications Actually the circuit was […]
