A foam-level detector is disclosed. The foam-level detector includes mesh disposed on one or more arms attached to a carrier. The carrier is configured to engage a tube so as to be slidable along the longitudinal axis of the tube. The mesh is configured to engage a foam layer such as to float at or near the surface of the foam. The arms may be pivotally attached to the carrier. The carrier may include a magnet configured to magnetically engage a magnet disposed in the tube. The magnet in the tube may be configured to electrically connect two materials, each material having an electrical resistance per unit length of the material. A measure of the resistance of the conductive path formed by the magnet in the tube and the two materials may be used to infer the position of the foam-float along the tube.
