Object Water Detector
This simple water detector circuit uses alternative voltage in order to prevent the corrosion of the electrodes.
It is easy to build and uses N1 as a trigger Schmitt gate which generate the AC. If between the electrodes is a electricity conductor, then because of the rectification action of D1 and D2, the C4 capacitor is charging.
Circuit Water Detector
When the
capacitor voltage reaches switching threshold of the N2 trigger Schmitt, the relay will trigger and connect, The pump will be disconnected as soon as the electrodes won’t touch the liquid.
