Why Choose the Lovato LVFSA1D03 Float Switch?
The Lovato LVFSA1D03 is a float switch for drinking-water applications, designed to provide dependable liquid-level control in tanks, reservoirs and water-storage systems. Part of the Lovato level-control range, it provides a simple electromechanical method of controlling pumps, valves or associated control equipment according to the liquid level.
This version is supplied with a 3 m cable, providing flexibility when positioning the float within a compatible tank or vessel. As the water level rises or falls, the floating body changes position and operates its internal changeover contact, allowing the control function to be configured for either filling or emptying applications.
The LVFSA1D03 is specifically intended for drinking water, making it suitable for potable-water storage and level-control installations where an appropriate float switch is required. Its suspended cable design allows straightforward installation without requiring probes or electrodes to be permanently mounted at multiple levels inside the vessel.

Simple Automatic Level Control for Water Systems
A float switch detects liquid level through the movement of a buoyant switching body. As the water level changes, the float changes orientation and operates its internal electrical contact. This switching signal can then be incorporated into a control circuit to start or stop a pump, operate a valve or provide another level-dependent control function.
Because the Lovato LVFSA1D03 uses a 3 m flexible cable, its switching position can be established according to the installation requirements and the required difference between upper and lower water levels. Correct positioning and electrical connection allow the float switch to be used for either automatic tank filling or emptying control.
Typical Applications
- Drinking-water storage tanks.
- Potable-water reservoirs.
- Automatic water-pump control.
- Tank filling and emptying systems.
- Water supply and distribution installations.
- Level control for compatible potable-water systems.
