Description
ABSTRACT
In countries including such as Nigeria, a city water authority supplies the clean water and pumps it into large ground-level storage tanks. A resident’s water pump then pumps the water to a water tank on top of his/her house. When the water level in the ground-level storage tank becomes too low, the pump siphons air and shuts down, requiring a resident to manually prime the water pump to get it running again. Residents struggle to monitor the water level of the tanks effectively and keep the pump running properly. To remedy the issue, the automatic submersible water pump starter system monitors the water levels and controls the pump as necessary to prevent breakdown and maximize water storage without overfilling the rooftop tank and wasting water.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
The project “automatic submersible water pump starter” is design to monitor the level of liquid in the tank. The system has an automatic pumping system attached to it so as to refill the tank once the liquid gets to the lower threshold, while offing the pump once the liquid gets to the higher threshold. Sustainability of available water resource in many reason of the word is now a dominant issue. This problem is quietly related to poor water allocation, inefficient use, and lack of adequate and integrated water management. Water is commonly used for agriculture, industry, and domestic consumption. Therefore, efficient use and water monitoring are potential constraint for home or office water management system. Moreover, the common method of level control for home appliance is simply to start the feed pump at a low level and allow it to run until a higher water level is reached in the water tank. This water level control, controls monitor and maintain the water level in the overhead tank and ensures the continuous flow of water round the clock without the stress of going to switch the pump ON or OFF thereby saving time, energy, water, and prevent the pump from overworking Besides this, liquid level control systems are widely used for monitoring of liquid levels in reservoirs, silos. Proper monitoring is needed to ensure water sustainability is actually being reached with disbursement linked to sensing and automation.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
This project is carried out so as to provide an easy means of designing of submersible water level starting system is not a major task and we have made the system in such a way that it is possible to install the system yourself with minimum electrical knowledge or with the help of a simple electrician.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The main aim of this work is to carry out a research on how to install an automatic submersible water pump starter. The objectives of the study are:
- To provide an easy means of installing submersible water pump motor.
- To get acquainted to automatic switching ON of overhead tank (OHT) when water falls below the lower limit.
- To avoid damages on the water controller due to wrong installation
1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
Automatic submersible water level starter came into existence because of human error and in consistence that is associated with manually operated water pumping machine, and there different designs of water pump controller but all the designs has the same installation procedures. It has been observed that many people finds it difficult to install a water pump whenever they purpose it even when the user’s operating manual is been giving to them. The study was designed to create an avenue where the user of the device can get build automatic submersible water pump starter without or little assistance from an electrician
1.5 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
They are useful devices and play an important role in various industries such as automobile, irrigation, and also at homes, or wherever water is pump either underground or overhead.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The project was design to automatically control the pump which ensures constant reserve of water in the reservoir. The scope of the work covers studying how to design an automatic submersible water pump starter. The task of installation comprises of two parts, the Power Connection and the Sensing Connection. The Power Connection is the connection between the automatic submersible water pump starter and your existing Starter with which you are presently operating the Pump set. The Single Phase Borewells will usually have a starter with start capacitors and run capacitors inside. The starter will have voltage and current meters with ON and OFF Push Buttons on the Door of the Panel. To Control such starters the control wiring will be done only to the ON and OFF Push Buttons. But when the controller is implemented it will involve using sensors to control the ON and OFF of the water pump.
CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION
The course of undergoing this project has disclosed numerous important things about an automatic submersible water pump starter. Ranging from its economic importance and recommendation based on the use of this automatic submersible water pump starter. Hence with the successful design and construction of this project, a more efficient way of ensuring continuous flow and pumping of water is provided even in the absence of the operator. This provides the possibility that is can still put on his/her appliance (pump) in the absence of the user.
5.1 RECOMMENDATION
This project is designed to be used in our homes and industries where the need for accurate flow and pumping of water is needed. And should be used and maintain by a qualified personnel.
It is recommended to connect the Live wire to automatic submersible water pump starterdevice through a switch.
Installation involves some connections which operate at 220V AC and should be done by electrician or trained personnel only.
