With the water supply and power on, the liquid level controller keeps the solenoid fill valve closed as long as a circuit is made via the water from the common connector (metal tank connector) to the low level brass stud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the water level drops below the low level stud and the contact to the common connector is missing, the controller, after a short delay, powers the fill solenoid valve and water enters the bird bath, once the water touches the upper contact (high level), the solenoid power is removed and the valve closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How it was made<\/strong> &#8211; As the bird bath is made of plastic and the top bowl lifts off the column, I was able to put hardware out of view inside the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First job was to drill and fit the 15mm Tank Connector (\u00a32.79) and a small length of 15mm copper pipe in the top bowl, this will connect to the filling manifold via a push fit coupling, the copper stub will also act as a &#8216;Common&#8217; connector for the level sensor circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3730-Medium-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"dish\" class=\"wp-image-3420\" width=\"284\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3730-Medium.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3730-Medium-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3729-Medium-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"dish top\" class=\"wp-image-3419\" width=\"286\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3729-Medium.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_3729-Medium-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/visio-Medium.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1023\" src=\"\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/visio-Medium.jpg\" alt=\"visio\" class=\"wp-image-3426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/visio-Medium.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chatteris.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/visio-Medium-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The manifold is made of 15mm copper pipe with end fed fittings, the manifold is connected via a 15mm &#8216;push fit&#8217; connection to the bowl stub, thiis makes maintenance very easy as it all comes apart quickly.
