Level sensor

[Jeremiah Robinson]

Hi there,

I'm using an Arduino as a controller for my system, and I've got 5v temperature sensors working.  However, I'm looking for a water level sensor to detect when my system is leaking.  Anyone have a working water level sensor that will feed back to a microcontroller like and Arduino?

Thanks,

Jeremiah

I bought some of these: http://www.amazon.com/Curve-Stainless-Liquid-Sensor-Switch/dp/B004U...

You can use them to indicate high or low water level by flipping the float around.

They also have a unit with two floats so you can have a high and low indicator in one unit: http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Liquid-Sensor-Stainless-Switch/dp/B005N...

Thanks David.  I'll probably go with those if I can't find anything else.  

I'd been hoping for a level sensor that returns a value rather than just an on/off condition.
