floating ball
Pool toy orb
A floating ball is a buoyant sphere that rests on or bobs in water or other liquid.
The term appears in contexts from pool toys to mechanical systems—toilet tanks use a floating ball (or float) to regulate water level, rising with the water until it triggers the valve to shut off.
The floating ball in the tank needs replacing.
