Why Choose the Lovato LVFSP1W20 Float Switch for Grey Water?
The Lovato LVFSP1W20 is a robust float switch designed for grey water level control in tanks, reservoirs and pumping systems. As part of the Lovato LVFSP1 float switch series, it provides reliable automatic filling or emptying control using a simple mechanical float mechanism and changeover electrical contact.
The LVFSP1W20 is supplied with a generous 20 m PVC A05 VV-F3X1 cable and an external counterweight, allowing the switching level and operating movement to be configured for the application. Its polypropylene float casing and IP68 protection rating make it suitable for continuous submerged level-monitoring duties in compatible grey water systems.
With a 45° activation angle, one changeover SPDT contact and a switching rating of 10 A AC-1 at 250 V AC, the LVFSP1W20 can control suitable pumps, contactors or control circuits. It supports installation depths up to 30 m and operating pressures up to 3 bar, providing a versatile solution for professional water management installations.

Reliable Level Control for Grey Water Systems
Float switches such as the Lovato LVFSP1W20 detect liquid level by changing electrical contact state as the float rises or falls with the water surface. This mechanical level-sensing principle enables pumps, contactors or control circuits to respond automatically to predetermined liquid levels without requiring electronic sensing probes within the tank.
The LVFSP1W20 can be configured for either filling or emptying control and combines a 20 m PVC cable with a supplied external counterweight for flexible positioning. Its polypropylene construction, IP68 protection and capability for installation depths up to 30 m make it well suited to professional grey water management and pumping systems.
Typical Applications
- Grey water storage and collection tanks.
- Pump filling and emptying control systems.
- Water storage reservoirs.
- Building water management installations.
- Industrial water handling systems.
- OEM pumping and level-control equipment.
