Why is the float inside the level gauge moving slowly or not at all in my Magnetrol Jupiter JM4?

If the float inside the level gauge is moving slowly or not at all, ensure that the magnetic level indicator is plumb. The process fluid being measured may be too viscous, so heat tracing may be required to make the material more fluid. The specific gravity of the process fluid and float weight may need to be reverified. If the liquid being measured contains magnetic particles collecting on the magnetic section of the float causing drag, magnetic trap assemblies can be purchased from the factory. A visual inspection of the float may be required to see if the float has collapsed.
