Multi-tank controller videos
Custom wired multi-tank water level controller. This system is designed for sites where one or more water-supply pumps serve several storage tanks. The final configuration depends on the number of tanks, pumps, valves, sensors and the site wiring.

Before choosing a multi-tank system
Tank quantity, motor type, motor HP, pipe arrangement, valve quantity, sensor-cable distance and available power supply must be reviewed before this system is configured or priced. Contact the sales team through the VUKAR contact page with the site details.
Questions before choosing
When is VUKAR’s custom multi-tank system a useful choice?
The wired system is designed for sites where one or more supply pumps serve several storage tanks with individual level sensing. It coordinates tank demand with the pump and each filling arrangement. Describe the complete tank and pipe plan when you want those filling decisions handled together rather than by a single fixed pump time.
Can the described system fill two tanks that need water together?
Yes. In the described custom sequence, both low-tank valves can open so both tanks fill together when source and motor checks permit. Include simultaneous tank demand in the site plan so the configured system and commissioning tests cover that operating case.
How does the system handle one tank becoming full first?
In the described sequence, the full tank closes its own valve while the other tank continues filling. This lets the control respond to each tank’s individual demand. Map each sensor and valve to its tank and test that response during commissioning.
How does the system finish a multi-tank filling cycle?
The described sequence stops the pump when the last tank being filled reaches full. Until then, remaining tank demand can keep filling active while each completed tank closes its own valve. Confirm this sequence for the actual tank and pump plan when the system is configured.
How does the system manage a water-shortage interruption?
The described system checks source water and includes dry-run protection during pumping. After a shortage, it waits for the configured delay before retrying, with water and motor checks applying. Set that delay for the source conditions and include the low-source stop and retry in the commissioning test.
How do I choose between a standard controller and a custom system?
For a standard single- or double-float job, compare the normal water-level-controller models. For several tanks with individually controlled filling arrangements, review the full sensor, valve and pump plan as a custom system. This helps select the control structure that actually matches the site.
What information helps VUKAR configure the system for my site?
Provide the tank quantity, motor type and HP, available supply, pipe layout, valve quantity and sensor-cable distances. Add the low/full marks, intended source checks, retry delay and any manual-operation requirements. Use those details in the configuration discussion so the proposed system addresses the whole installation.
What should I plan for the wired connections?
This product uses a wired control arrangement, so sensor-cable distances and routes are part of the site design. Plan them alongside the pumps, tanks and valves before configuration. Give those details to the supplier so the control arrangement can be reviewed for the actual layout.
Which operating feedback should I discuss during system selection?
Discuss which tank, sensor, cable and valve conditions the configured system should detect and display. An open command and confirmation of actual valve movement or water flow are different signals. Agree the required feedback in the site design so operation and fault checks have a clear reference.
What commissioning checks help confirm the tank sequence?
Test each tank separately, then test two tanks filling together. Check individual full-tank valve closure, continued filling of the remaining tank and the final pump stop. Include the low-source stop, timed retry, power-cut behaviour and manual-mode requirement in the site handover.
