SwitchFlo on video

Still checking your water tank manually?

0:42 Published

Most homes still check the tank the same way: climb up, look in, come back down, guess. The guess is what causes the trouble, because a motor started on a wrong guess either runs dry or overflows.

SwitchFlo replaces the climb with a reading. The controller knows the level continuously, so it can start and stop the motor on the level itself rather than on somebody remembering to look.

What happens in this clip

  1. 1 The routine as it stands today: up to the terrace, lid off, look in.
  2. 2 Why the guess goes wrong, in both directions.
  3. 3 The same tank with a SwitchFlo controller reading it continuously.
  4. 4 The level on the phone, checked without leaving the room.
