ABSTRACT:
A water level control device including a cylindrical casing which has a bottom open end connected to a drain port of a water reservoir, a top open end, a plurality of longitudinally extended projecting rods spaced around its top open end, and a plurality of through holes spaced around the periphery at different elevations near its top open end; a socket mounted around the top open end of the cylindrical casing and defining a plurality of gaps through which water and air are allowed to pass from the water reservoir into the inside of the cylindrical casing; a hood covered around the socket and supported on the longitudinal projecting rods of the cylindrical casing, the hood defining a plurality of gaps through which water and air are allowed to pass from the water reservoir into the gaps defined within the socket, the hood having a downwardly extended bumper suspending in the top open end of the cylindrical casing; and a collar mounted within the top open end of the cylindrical casing at a lower elevation than the through holes of the cylindrical casing and adapted to cause a turbulent flow of water when water flows from the water reservoir through the gaps within the hood and the socket into the inside of the cylindrical casing, the collar having a curved top end arranged along bottom sides of the through holes of the cylindrical casing.
