SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a waterproof pressure sensor suitable for sump detection. The user, Rama, specifies that the sensor must be in direct contact with water, resistant to sunlight, and compact in size. A recommended vendor is WIKA, specifically the PGS21 model, which meets these criteria. Participants are encouraged to share additional vendor options or insights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of waterproof sensor specifications
  • Familiarity with pressure sensing technology
  • Knowledge of sump pump systems
  • Awareness of vendor evaluation criteria
NEXT STEPS
  • Research WIKA PGS21 pressure sensor specifications
  • Explore alternative waterproof pressure sensors from vendors like Honeywell and Omega
  • Investigate installation requirements for sump detection sensors
  • Learn about the impact of sunlight on sensor performance
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, product designers, and anyone involved in sump pump systems or sensor technology looking for reliable waterproof pressure sensors.

Hi All,

I am looking for a pressure sensor to detect water pressure in a sump. Sensor has to be in contact with the water media directly. It should be water proof and insensitive to sun light. Also, I want the sensor the dimensions of the sensor to be relatively small. Can anyone help me in locating the vendors for this type of sensor?

Thanks for your help.
