As an illustration, if you replace the mechanical float in a cooling tower every three years, at a cost of approximately $300 each, plus installation, then over 25 years, you will have paid a total of $2,400 for eight floats. Compare this to a total of less than $500 for a simple $20 replaceable component part every 10 years plus the cost of rebuilding the solenoid valve every five years at a cost of $75 each. As this example illustrates, the right electronic water level control system can save you thousands of dollars versus mechanical floats over the expected life span of the cooling tower.

If you choose the right electronic water level control
system, it will be safe yet cost less to operate than a mechanical float system
over the lifespan of the cooling tower.
