Choosing a level switch usually starts with a simple question: what do you need the tank to do when the liquid reaches a certain point?

Rainwater harvesting tends to make headlines during a hosepipe ban, when watering the garden suddenly becomes a problem. The reality, though, is that the smartest time to plan a harvesting system is when water is plentiful, not when reservoirs are running low.

A residential fire sprinkler system is only as reliable as the water supply behind it. In most UK homes, the incoming mains supply alone cannot deliver the flow and pressure required to operate sprinkler heads effectively in the event of a fire.

In commercial fluid control systems, preventing backflow is vital for preserving their integrity, safeguarding the hardware and equipment, and ensuring they function correctly and safely.

A priority demand valve or PDV is an electrical valve, fitted to domestic and residential fire sprinkler systems, that makes sure available water is directed to the sprinklers in the event of a fire, rather than to the property itself.

England’s water scarcity challenge has intensified profusely. Recent government reports confirm that widespread drought has placed an intense amount of pressure on water supplies, with leakages at 19% and household water consumption surpassing 136 litres per person per day.

Ensuring consistent sensor monitoring in data centres involves treating pressure, level and temperature devices as critical components of their overall infrastructure.

In UK data centres, running round-the-clock to tight service level agreements (SLAs) and striving for ambitious key performance indicators (KPIs), it’s vital to ensure complete real-time visibility and oversight across power usage, cooling capacity, and leak detection.

Manufacturers are under constant pressure to ensure equipment reliability and longevity while reducing expenditure and overheads wherever possible. As margins tighten and infrastructure ages with each passing year, that becomes increasingly challenging.

The paper manufacturing industry is one of many that relies heavily on precise liquid measurement and management throughout every production stage.

From the initial stages of wood chip processing to the final coating phases, accurate monitoring of liquid levels and flow rates is vital for preserving product quality, keeping production processes efficient, and preventing costly disruptions or malfunctions.

Fire sprinkler valve systems are the most effective fire protection measures available today. When installed correctly and equipped with the correct high-quality components, switches, sensors, and monitoring equipment, they can control and extinguish fires effectively and, most importantly, preserve life.

When it comes to monitoring and controlling fluid flow in any system (such as HVAC, industrial, fire protection, building services, etc.), understanding the various flow measurement devices is vital.

A fire sprinkler flow switch detects water in the sprinkler system piping and triggers the fire alarm control panel when activated. Residential fire sprinkler systems require annual inspection and servicing under BS9251:2021, with automatic weekly testing of the pump set.
