How can you tell when a water jug is too full?
Set a LED on the level that you want to be your lowest. When the water is full, its light will follow a certain path across the container and reach its light sensor. When the water gets bellow the level, it will miss it (or you could set up a second sensor if you really wanted to). Based on this info, you can know when the water gets too low.
How to calculate the volume of water in a tank?
Just choose the cylinder type and fill the requested values in the liquid volume calculator to know the total volume and water-filled volume inside the cylinder. This tank volume calculator is capable of giving all range of inputs at the same time.
Can a perfectly empty tank still read full?
Factory-installed tank sensors are wholly inaccurate. Previous polls on this site also substantiate this information. Deposits of paper and “other” things get stuck on the sensors. A perfectly empty tank can still read full as a result.
How can I tell if my water tank is full?
Some folks have tried other methods such as dishwashing soap, ice, hot water, and other methods that may work with mixed results. There is another way to know your tank is full (or close to it) besides using sensors or sound.

How can I tell if my water bottle is empty?
It’s basically using the tare weight of the empty water container (or nearly empty, anyway) to trigger the alarm. I would suggest that the hoses from the espresso machine plus a minimum safe amount of water be in the bottle when getting the baseline sensor measurement. – WineSoaked Mar 9 ’14 at 17:41
