How it Works
-
Position the Switch: Place the Alderon SurfaceMax™ Utility Pump Control Switch flat on the floor of the area you intend to drain.
-
Connect to the Pump: Plug the power cable from your pump into the integrated piggyback plug on the SurfaceMax™ switch.
-
Power Up: Connect the mated plugs into a standard 120VAC wall outlet or receptacle. This includes GFI outlets, enhancing its compatibility.
-
Adjust Liquid Level Settings (Optional): If needed, use the provided leveling screws to slightly adjust the 'on' and 'off' liquid level set points to suit your specific requirements.
-
Wait for Activation: The SurfaceMax™ switch will automatically activate the pump when the water level rises and touches the 'on' probe.
-
Automatic Shutdown: The pump will switch off automatically when the water level recedes and no longer touches the 'off' probes.
