ball float or float ball


Explanation:
It appears to be a plastic ball that floats on top of the water in the condensation tray and when that water reaches a certain level something happens to alert the user that the tray needs to be emptied.

On this webpage you can see a picture of a bolla used in fishing:

If you Google >>humidifier ball float<< you will find references to "float balls" and "ball floats", which seem to vary depending on the country/region.
