Description
Reliable Pump Control for High Temperature Sump Applications
When standard float switches fail under heat, the SJE HiTempMaster™ high temperature float switch is built to keep your system running reliably. Designed specifically for hot water and high-temperature sump environments, this mechanically activated pump switch provides consistent, automatic control in applications where temperatures can reach up to 200°F (93°C).
From industrial wastewater and boiler discharge to high-temperature sump pits, the HiTempMaster™ provides reliable pump-down control, eliminating the risks of traditional float switches.
What This Float Switch Does
The SJE HiTempMaster™ pump switch automatically turns your pump on and off based on liquid level. As the float rises and falls, it activates a mechanical switch to control pump operation, helping prevent overflow, protect equipment, and maintain system efficiency.
Unlike standard float switches, this model is engineered for high-heat environments, making it ideal for applications where elevated temperatures would otherwise cause premature failure.
Why Choose a High Temperature Float Switch?
In high-temperature sump systems:
- Standard float switches can warp, degrade, or fail
- Electrical components may become unreliable
- Pump control becomes inconsistent or unsafe
The HiTempMaster™ is designed to overcome these challenges with:
- Heat-resistant materials
- A protective float housing
- Stable operation even in harsh conditions
This ensures accurate pump cycling and longer service life in demanding environments.

FAQs
What is a high temperature float switch?
A high temperature float switch is designed to operate in liquids above standard temperature limits (typically above 140°F). The HiTempMaster™ can handle up to 200°F, making it suitable for hot sump systems.
Can this be used with a sump pump?
Yes, this is a sump pump float switch specifically designed for pump-down applications in high-temperature sump systems.
What does “pump down” mean?
Pump down refers to draining or emptying a tank or sump. This switch activates the pump as the liquid rises and turns it off once the level drops.
Does this float switch contain mercury?
No. The HiTempMaster™ uses a mechanically activated design, making it safer and compliant with environmental regulations.
Can it operate in turbulent water?
Yes. The switch is not sensitive to turbulence or rotation, allowing reliable operation in agitated environments.
What is the pumping range?
The pumping range is adjustable between 8 and 36 inches, depending on tether length and installation.
Does water temperature affect the float switch performance or pumping range?
Yes. The pumping range of the SJE HiTempMaster™ can vary slightly depending on water temperature and installation setup. Higher temperatures can increase the operating range, so it’s recommended to observe several pump cycles after installation to ensure the float switch is performing as expected in your specific application.
