For more than four decades, Deeter Electronics has been a driving force in the design and manufacture of liquid level sensors, float switches, and control instrumentation. Founded in 1982, the company has evolved into a globally recognised innovator supplying advanced sensing solutions across industries ranging from oil & gas and aerospace to food production and scientific research.

What truly sets Deeter Electronics apart is our ability to deliver fully bespoke, customer‑specific liquid level sensing systems—a capability supported by decades of engineering expertise, in‑house manufacturing, and a deeply flexible approach to product design.

A Specialist in Custom Liquid Level Sensors & Float Switches

While Deeter offers an extensive catalogue of standard float switches and sensors, a significant proportion of our output consists of custom‑engineered designs, with around 70% of global sales being bespoke products tailored to exact customer specifications.

Our custom solutions are built to perform under demanding conditions, with options to configure:

  • Sensor length, mounting type, and switching points
  • Float materials and specific gravities suitable for oils, acids, liquid nitrogen, pure water, milk, or other challenging media
  • Electrical configuration including resistance ranges, reed switch spacing, voltage ratings, and multi‑point sensing arrangements—designed in direct collaboration between customers and Deeter’s engineering team

This collaborative design process ensures that each sensor is precision‑built to meet application‑specific requirements, whether for simple single‑point switching or advanced continuous monitoring systems.
