Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this item sight unseen, to convert my 1/6 HP Flotec utility pump into an automatic sump pump. Before buying this, I had three major concerns:
1) Since my pump turns on and off only by plugging it in, would the float switch even work with it?
2) Would the float switch cycle on and off too frequently as the water level fluctuated?
3) How and where would I attach the float switch?
Upon receiving the item, all my concerns were satisfied.
1) The "piggyback plug" works as expected. You leave the pump plugged in to it all the time.
2) Once the switch cycles on, the water level has to drop about 5-6 inches before it cycles off.
3) The float switch comes with two mounting options. One of the options was a small metal bracket and a screw that exactly fit a mounting post on the top of my utility pump.
You do need a good size sump well for this tethered float switch to work. They recommend 14" diameter but I think you could make it work with a 12" well by placing the pump against one side of the well.
