Liquid/Water Level Sensor is used in the Industry to better regulate quantities of chemicals in large containers. In domestic applications, most of these sensors are used as switches and instead of giving liquid levels continuously, they usually turn on or off at discrete instances. We have covered some of the best liquid water level sensors you can buy for your home. So have a read and tell us what you think about the best water level sensors in the comments section.
uxcell 5 Pieces ZP4510 (10.97$)
This sensor is available in packs of 5 and has a max contact rating of 10W. It has a max switching current of 1.5A with a voltage of 220V.

Horizontal Liquid Float Switch (7.46$)
This Amico product is connected horizontally to the liquid level. Like most on our list, this sensor also has working voltage of 5V but a max switching voltage of 100V. It comes with a 3.5″ cable and has a length of 40cm. This is more of a switch and can not detect the exact amount of liquid in a tank.

Wired Liquid Level Sensor (14.58$)
The smaller Uxcell product is capable of operating in much smaller enviroments. The sensor is perfectly air tight and has two switches one at the bottom and other at the top. One at the bottom is ‘normally closed’ while the one at the top is normally open.
Available Here
Optical Infrared (14.99$)
The optical sensor detects water up to a distance of 1.8m and has an operating voltage between 5V-24V. The device is fully RoHS compliant and has no mechanical moving parts.
Available Here
Glentronics, Inc. BWD-HWA(11.97$)
The most popular water level switch in the market. The water level sensor also comes with an alarm and, therefore, it is ideal to install around the house where you do not want to have water. The completely water proof unit can detect water levels as low as 1/32″ deep.
