Abstract

An apparatus for controlling the operation of a pump, especially a submersible pump, and particularly for controlling a water level in connection with cellar drainage pumps, comprises at least one level detector using the principle of acoustic impedance for detecting the presence or absence of liquid to be pumped, said level detector being electrically connected to a control circuit controlling a switching device for the pump.
