Monitoring Water Level in a Tank

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I wan to automate a test that I conduct frequently.  I want to record the drop in water level in a water tank over 30 minutes then trigger a valve with solenoid (able to operate by gravity flow, no pressured water) to refill the water back to same level and then wait another 30 minutes.  Each time interval will have a set of data representing the water level in the tank.  I was told I need a microcontroller, an e-tape (from Milone technologies) and a water valve.  Can anyone help in pointing out what instruments are needed and how to connect them.  I was told that I don't need a data logger if the controller can control a valve and log data.  If someone an help , I will draw a sketch if needed. Regards

    One thing, the solenoid for use in this situation is of a special type, like this:

    Thanks for your valuable input.  Now I have the valve and e-tape.  I am looking for a controller with data logger or without.
