Circuits designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • WATER SEEPAGE ALARM
    This simple circuit sounds a beeper when its electrodes detect water. A single 1.5v N cell powers it. A small 1.5v button battery will also work.

Hot Water Tank Indicator:  (circuit / design added 8/03)

One-wire bus powers water-level sensor:  02/15/00 EDN-Design Ideas  / (added 2/06) 

Plant Moisture Monitor:  (circuit / design added 8/03)

Plants Watering Watcher #3:  Varying brightness LED signals the necessity to water a plant. Very Low consumption,3V powered Circuit (added 9/04)

Pot Plant Power:  All plants carry an electric charge relative to the ground. This charge is more or less constant regardless of the size of the plant a kind of background voltage" in nature. This electric charge suffuses the entire plant, from its roots to its leaves and fruit. It was measured between a chrome-plated pin inserted into the plant (the positive terminal) and an iron spike driven into the ground (the negative terminal). (added 6/03)

Pot plant water tester:  (electronic circuit added 10/05)

Rain Detector #2:  (circuit / design added 8/03)

Rain Detector #3:  (electronic circuit added 7/03)

Shower Stopper:  (circuit / design added 8/03)

Water Activated Relay:  (electronic (schematic / circuit added 4/02)

Water Level Alarm:  (electronic (schematic / circuit added 4/02)

Water Level Reference Design:  The Water Level Reference design continuously monitors water level and water flow using the temperature compensated MPXM2010GS pressure sensor in the low cost MPAK package, a dual op–amp, and the MC68HC908QT4, 8–pin microcontroller. This system uses very few components, reducing the overall system cost. This allows for a solution to compete with a mechanical switch for water level detection but also offer additional applications such as monitoring water flow for leak detection, and the other applications for smart washing machines.  (app note added 3/05)
