Abstract

A plurality of probes are situated as to experience being touched by the liquid being monitored; when at least one of such probes is touched by the liquid related electrical circuit means becomes energized as to cause related pumping means to be activated thereby pumping some of the monitored liquid to, in turn, reduce the level of such monitored liquid; when the level of the monitored liquid decreases to a predetermined level, the pumping means is automatically de-activated; during periods wherein there might occur a momentary splashing or sloshing of the monitored liquid, time delay means serves to correspondingly delay activation of said pumping means thereby preventing unnecessary activation of the pumping means.
