Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vertical float switch used for?
A vertical float switch is used in sump pumps and water systems where space is limited. It moves up and down instead of swinging, making it ideal for tight sump pits.
When should I use a vertical float switch instead of a wide-angle switch?
Use a vertical float switch when your sump pit is too small for a tethered float to move freely, or when you want more precise control of water levels.
Can this SJE VerticalMaster pump switch replace my existing sump pump float switch?
Yes, this sump pump float switch replacement is compatible with most pumps up to 1/2 HP (120V).
What is a piggyback float switch?
A piggyback float switch plugs into a power outlet, and your pump plugs into the switch. It allows automatic operation without wiring.
Is this suitable for sewage or septic systems?
Yes, this sewage float switch is designed for non-potable water applications, including septic and effluent systems.
How does a sump pump float switch work?
The float rises with the water level, turning the pump on. When the water level drops, the switch automatically turns the pump off.
Can this be hardwired instead of a plug-in?
This model is supplied with a piggyback plug for easy installation and is not intended for direct wiring.
