Design and Implementation of Cost Effective Automatic Water Pump Controlling System for Domestic Application using IoT

Objective: Water scarcity is indeed a significant problem faced by cities in Bangladesh, which is compounded by both natural scarcity and mismanagement of water resources. Various forms of pollution contribute to the wastage of water in different ways. Additionally, the lack of proper control mechanisms for water pumping exacerbates the issue, leading to overflow and unnecessary wastage. Extensive research has been conducted to address these challenges and propose and implement a potential solutions.

This research project aims to present a cost-effective solution to the problem of water pump control for domestic applications, utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and a mobile application. The proposed system includes a reserve tank that serves the purpose of protecting the motor from the impact of air hitting it. By implementing this system, the cost of water pump control can be reduced compared to existing systems.

The integration of IoT and a mobile application allows for remote monitoring and control of the water pump, enhancing efficiency and reducing wastage. Users can conveniently operate the pump and monitor its functioning through the mobile application, providing greater control over water usage. Moreover, the reserve tank acts as a buffer, minimizing the risk of damage to the motor and improving its longevity.

By implementing this proposed solution, it is expected that the issues related to water scarcity, wastage, and motor control can be effectively addressed in a cost-effective manner. The utilization of IoT and mobile technology offers a promising approach to optimize water management and ensure efficient utilization of this precious resource.

Here are the features of the device:

1. Water and electricity wastage minimization: The device is designed to minimize the wastage of water and electricity, likely through efficient motor control and monitoring.

2. Automatic motor control: The motor of the device will automatically turn on when the water tank is empty, ensuring a continuous water supply. Conversely, it will automatically shut off when the water tank is full to prevent overflow and water wastage.

3. Digital display for water level: The device includes a digital display that shows the water level in the tank. This feature allows users to easily monitor the water level without the need for manual inspection.

4. Overheating protection: The motor of the device is designed to be completely safe from overheating. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the motor, preventing any potential damage or hazards.

5. Voltage passing rate display: The device includes a digital display that shows the voltage passing rate. This feature enables users to easily monitor the voltage supply and ensure the proper functioning of the system.

6. Easy installation: The device is designed for easy installation. This means that users can set up the system without significant technical expertise or complicated procedures.

7. Float switch control: The device includes a float switch that controls the operation of the pump based on the water level in the tank. When the water reaches a certain level, the float switch will turn the pump off, preventing overflow and ensuring efficient water management.

Overall, this device provides a convenient and efficient solution for managing water supply, preventing wastage, and ensuring user safety.
