浮球阀是廁所水箱、水塔等储水器中用來进水的自动开关。当水箱中的水位低于规定位置时，浮球阀自动打开，让水进入水箱；当水位达到规定位置时，浮球阀自动关闭，停止进水。[1]浮球閥由墨西哥神父兼科学家何塞·安东尼奥·德·阿尔萨特·伊·拉米雷斯（英语：José Antonio de Alzate y Ramírez）發明，他于1790年在《墨西哥文学杂志》（Gaceta de Literatura Méxicana）中描述了浮球閥[2]。1797年，埃德蒙·卡特赖特为蒸汽机中的浮球阀申请了专利[3][4]。

"Such flush tank valves as now commonly used are closed against the pressure of water from a source of supply which pressure opposes the movement of the float under rising water level in the tank. This results in a slow or delayed movement of the valve preliminary to its reaching its fully closed position and accordingly develops an objectionable hissing sound due to the discharge of water through the then slightly open valve under full water pressure; this delayed action continuing until the slowed delivery of water to the tank finally raises the water level to a point where the float will be effective in fully closing the valve. This action of the conventional float controlled valves frequently gives rise to a condition where full closing of the valve does not occur with a consequent continuous leakage of water through the valve with a resulting waste of water."
