This is not a straight answer but more like a workaround. Have you tried using the system from a toilet water tank? also, you could put a floating magnet inside the tank (and limit its x-y movement) and a reed switch (or more) outside of the tank at the desired levels. Another idea (not sure of it works, depends on the water quantity) is to place a barometer on the bottom of the tank and measure the pressure. | |

| Sep 17, 2016 at 12:19 | comment | added | Gerben | I'm not sure if there is even an issue here. But you could try out different types of plastic bags, to see which are "transparent" to ultrasonic sound. Alternatively, just replacing the sensor every one or two year, wouldn't be that bad. Just make sure that your code accounts for a bad sensor (e.g. turn of the pump after 10 minutes regardless of the water level). | |

You will not be able to seal them yourself without making them not work. Sealed ones do exist for vehicle parking systems, but require different electronics. Also beware minimum distances. | |
