Activate your pump in dirty water that contains sludge and sewage.
Voltage | Current, A | Temperature Range, °F | Plug Type | Cord Lg., ft. | Each | |
120V AC | 13 | 35° to 140° | Three Prong | 15 | 0000000 | 000000 |
Dual Float Switches for Sump Pumps

If the primary float fails, the backup float kicks in and an alarm sounds to indicate float malfunction. The floats are enclosed in a mounting cage to minimize false switch activation. Use the switch to replace an existing switch, or pair it with a plug-in activated pump that operates on 15 amps or less to control when the pump activates.
Voltage | Current, A | Max. Temp., °F | Plug Type | Cord Lg., ft. | Features | Includes | Each | |
120V AC | 12 | 100° | Three Prong | 4 | Mounting Cage | Stainless Steel Clamp | 0000000 | 000000 |
Float Switches for Sump Pumps

Hang these switches in a sump pit to detect rising water levels. Use them to replace an existing switch, or pair them with a plug-in activated pump to control when the pump activates.
Pressure Switches for Sump Pumps

Since these switches activate on increasing pressure caused by rising water levels, they have no floats to catch on sump pit walls. Use them to replace an existing switch, or pair them with a plug-in activated pump to control when the pump activates.
Voltage | Current, A | Temperature Range, °F | Plug Type | Cord Lg., ft. | Each | |
120V AC | 10 | 35° to 120° | Three Prong | 18 | 0000000 | 0000000 |

Keep your hands free for other tasks by triggering switches with your foot.
Back-pivot switches actuate with a tap of the toe. Center-pivot switches let you control two circuits with a single foot—one with your toe and one with your heel. Also known as rocker switches, they can be pressed either forward or backward, meaning you actuate one circuit at a time.
Two-speed switches have staged contacts. For slow speed, push the pedal halfway to close the first contact; for high speed, push it all the way to close the second contact.
