Water level in sprinkler system reservoirs
must be maintained within certain limits. There

A float-actuated level indicator (fig. 8-28) is
mounted outside on the wall of a tank with its float

water level. A switch or switches (one for high
level, one for low level) are actuated when the float
moves outside
