Arduino Water Level Sensor Kit - Measure Tank Level on LCD
Build a Tank Water Level Indicator with Arduino Uno & LCD - Beginner Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a small circuit on your desk that reacts when you dip sensors into a glass of water and shows the exact fill percentage on a glowing LCD screen. With this kit, you'll build that circuit in under two hours-no soldering, no previous experience needed. It transforms a simple water level curiosity into a digital readout you can understand instantly.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a working water level monitor that uses five exposed probes to detect water presence at different depths. The LCD screen displays the tank level as a simple percentage, turning vague water levels into a clear, digital reading you can monitor instantly. This hands-on project connects a real-world sensor to a display, laying the foundation for dozens of other monitoring ideas.
What You'll Learn
- How a water level sensor works using conductivity between five probes
- Wiring an I2C LCD backpack to drastically reduce the number of pins used on the Arduino Uno
- Reading analog sensor values with the Arduino Uno and interpreting them in code
- Converting raw sensor readings into a meaningful percentage display on a 16x2 LCD

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 6-9 students exploring sensor-based science projects, for ATL Tinkering Lab beginners learning to display real-world data, and for young makers participating in school-level STEM exhibitions. If you're a parent or educator looking for a zero-intimidation entry into electronics, this child-safe, breadboard-based project fits perfectly.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with the AI companion trained for this exact sensor kit. For human help, WhatsApp our support team - we'll guide you step by step.
Can I leave the sensor probe in water permanently?
The exposed probes are designed for occasional use; leaving them in water continuously may cause corrosion over time. For permanent monitoring, consider coating the probes or upgrading to a contactless sensor.
Does this kit require soldering?
Nothing to solder - every connection uses a solderless breadboard and jumper wires. It's completely safe for children and reusable for future projects.
What if a component is missing or broken when I open the box?
We'll replace any manufacturing-defective part free within 7 days. Just reach out via WhatsApp or email with a photo and we'll ship a replacement from Bengaluru immediately.
