flottörbrytare/flottörgivare

Explanation:
"nivå" behövs inte, det är underförstått när man talar om flottörer.
"brytare" om det är en rent mekanisk grej som bryter ett flöde vid en viss nivå (som en toalett efter spolning)
"givare" om det är en elektrisk konstruktion som bryter/sluter en krets vid en viss nivå, vilket sedan elektriskt kontrollerar mekaniken eller ger alarm etc.

Kontexten tyder på det senare men inte helt säker
