The Triton LR07-L10M is a WRAS approved, non-mercury float switch made for potable water: break tanks, cold water storage, cisterns and booster sets. A sealed polypropylene float houses a steel roller ball and microswitch, moulded to 10 m of 3-core EPDM cable.

Its changeover (SPDT) contact switches a pump directly up to 15 A resistive at 250 V, and can be wired to fill or empty a tank. Made in the UK by Triton Controls.

Full Description

Triton LR07 potable water float switch, 10 m

The Triton LR07-L10M is a non-mercury level regulator designed for drinking water and consumable liquids. The float is a sealed polypropylene casing moulded to 10 m of 3-core EPDM cable. Inside, a steel roller ball operates a microswitch as the float tilts, giving a clean single pole, double throw (changeover) contact with no mercury or heavy metals.

As the water level rises or falls, the LR07 starts or stops a pump, opens a solenoid valve or triggers an alarm. Wire one side of the switch to fill a tank, or the other side to empty it.

WRAS approved: suitable for contact with wholesome (drinking) water in UK installations.

Wiring

Leads used	Contact closes when	Typical use
Brown + Black	Float rises	Emptying: pump starts on high level
Brown + Blue	Float falls	Filling: pump or valve starts on low level; low-level / dry-run alarm

Brown is the common lead. Insulate whichever lead you don’t use. Single-phase pumps up to 10 A inductive can be switched directly. Larger or three-phase motors should be switched through a contactor or control panel.

Applications

Break tanks & booster sets

Low-level cut-out to protect booster pumps from running dry.

Cold water storage

Automatic refill control for potable storage tanks and cisterns.

Borehole & private supply

Fill control of header and storage tanks fed by borehole pumps.

Level alarms

High or low-level signal to an alarm panel or BMS.

Cable length options

Part number	Cable length
LR07-L05M	5 m
LR07-L10M (this listing)	10 m
LR07-L20M	20 m

Installation tips

Allow at least 330 mm of free movement so the float can tilt fully. Switching points are approximate.
Set the switching level with the optional stabilising weight. It fixes anywhere on the cable with the supplied O-ring and cable tie.
In open or turbulent tanks, clip the cable to the tank wall to stop the float drifting.
Where turbulence causes rapid on/off switching, use a maintaining (latching) circuit to protect the microswitch and pump starter.

FAQs

Is the LR07 approved for drinking water?

Yes. The LR07 is WRAS approved, with a polypropylene float and EPDM cable, and contains no mercury.

Can one switch fill and empty a tank?

Yes. Use brown and black to empty (closes on rising level) or brown and blue to fill (closes on falling level).

Will it switch my pump directly?

Single-phase pumps up to 10 A inductive (about 1.3 hp) at 250 V, yes. Use a contactor or control panel for larger or three-phase pumps.

Can I use it in wastewater or hot water?

No. The LR07 is rated to 23°C for clean potable water. For sewage, wastewater or fats, use the Triton LR02.

Is 10 m of cable enough?

Measure from the switching point to your control panel or junction box and add some slack. Choose 5 m for short runs or 20 m for deeper tanks and longer runs.
