Replace Clog Prone Bubbler Systems with Submersible Level Sensors
Submersible Level Sensors solutions for demanding industrial applications. The DR6401 series delivers reliable performance.
The $25,000 Bubbler System Nightmare: Why We Switched to a Submersible Level Transmitter
At the XYZ facility in Texas, we faced a costly discrepancy: our bubbler system indicated a 500,000-gallon water storage tank was half full, but visual checks and dip tapes showed it was empty. This error wasted $25,000 in product each month.
Why Bubbler Systems Fail
Bubbler systems rely on a tiny orifice that can clog with debris, trapping air and causing false high-pressure readings. In our case, clogs misrepresented the actual liquid level by over 50%. The physics is simple: trapped air creates backpressure that mimics a higher liquid level, leading to inaccurate hydrostatic level measurement.
The Solution: Direct Submersible Level Measurement
We replaced the bubbler system with the DR6401Submersible Level Sensors. This IP68 level sensor has no orifice to clog and eliminates trapped air issues. The hydrostatic measurement is accurate within ±0.5% FS, ensuring consistent, error-free tank level reporting.
Key Specifications
- Fully submersible IP68 design
