Introduction
In demanding industrial and high-temperature environments, reliable liquid level control is essential. ELECALL’s EFQS-HM180 and EFQS-H high temperature cable float switches deliver robust, accurate performance for automatic water supply, drainage, and level monitoring.
These stainless steel cable float level switches feature durable 304/316 stainless steel construction, high-temperature resistant silicone cables, and IP68 waterproof sealing. They are ideal for boilers, hot water tanks, chemical storage, sewage systems, and other harsh conditions where ordinary plastic float switches would fail.
Whether you need the mercury switch type (EFQS-HM180) for superior high-temperature stability up to 180°C or the micro switch type (EFQS-H) for versatile general high-temperature applications, ELECALL provides professional-grade solutions.

Working Principle
Both models operate on a simple yet reliable mechanical principle. As the liquid level rises or falls, the stainless steel float tilts at an angle of ±45°. This movement activates the internal switch — either a mercury switch (EFQS-HM180) or a high-sensitivity micro switch (EFQS-H) — to open or close the circuit, precisely controlling pumps, valves, or alarms.
The mercury switch version offers no mechanical wear and excellent stability in high-temperature conditions, while the micro switch version provides fast response and broad compatibility.

EFQS-HM180 vs EFQS-H: Which One to Choose?
- EFQS-HM180 (Mercury Switch Type): Best for extreme high-temperature applications (up to 180°C). The mercury switch ensures stable, wear-free operation in boilers, heating systems, and hot liquid environments. It excels in conditions with vibration or continuous high heat.
- EFQS-H (Micro Switch Type): Ideal for standard high-temperature water tanks, reservoirs, sewage treatment, and industrial drainage where temperatures reach up to 100°C+. It offers quick response and is widely used in water supply systems, pools, and aquariums.
Both models share the same robust stainless steel build and IP68 protection, making them highly reliable in humid, corrosive, or dirty liquids.
Wide Range of Applications
These high temperature cable float switches are widely used in:
- Boilers and heating systems
- High-temperature water tanks and hot water supply
- Industrial liquid level control (oil, weak chemicals)
- Sewage and wastewater treatment
- Water towers, reservoirs, and drainage systems
- Food processing, metallurgy, and petrochemical equipment
Their corrosion resistance and high sealing performance allow reliable operation even in polluted or aggressive liquids.
