On motor at specific time everyday

AI Thread Summary
To automate a motor pump to start at 6 AM and turn off when a water tank reaches a certain level, a combination of a timer and a level controller is needed. The timer can restrict the pump's operation to specific hours, while the level controller will stop the pump when the desired water level is reached. Commercial pumps often have built-in features to prevent running when the exit is blocked. It's important to clarify the specific problem being addressed to ensure the right components are chosen. Proper assembly of these components will fulfill the requirements effectively.

Hi All

I have a requirement where i want my motor pump to start at 6 AM morning and OFF after certain level of my water tank.

I have browsed few links where i found some 555 timers and level controllers, but not able to consolidate them.

Please help me the steps to assemble them in broader view.

Thanks for your expert replies and feedback.

Sure - you want a stop-cock to close the pipe to your tank when it reaches the desired level - commercial pumps will already switch themselves off in the situation the exit is blocked and switch on again when it is clear.

But you don't want the pump running at any old time, so you plug the pump into power through a timer which only allows the pump to switch on for a restricted part of the day.

Both requirements met.
I'm puzzled to figure what problem you are trying to solve this way.

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
