Micro Float Switch - 15 ft.
The micro float switch is great for applications where you desire to know of a high water level condition in a small tank or sump pump basin, in commercial, residential, and rental applications, and there is not water splashing or vibration present. Typical applications include sump pits, weep holes, aquariums, and bilge pump monitoring for boats.
This micro float switch is designed to be used primarily in residential, commercial, rental, industrial sump pump basins to alert the property owner, or contractor, of an excessively high-water level before water spills out of your basin and onto the basement floor. For more turbulent water applications, use our rugged dual float switch.
What's Included:
- 1 – Micro Float Switch with 15 ft. cord
- 1 Year Warranty
How does the micro float protect your property?
This float ensures the safety of your property by monitoring the water level in your basement sump pump basin. If the water level exceeds the normal operating range, the float will activate the pumpalarm.com cellular transmitter to alert up to three individuals via text message. These notifications can be sent to yourself, your family members, a trusted neighbor, or a reliable plumber. With the widespread use of automatic garage door openers, even if you're away, a notification sent to a neighbor or plumber can enable them to enter your home through the garage door keypad and address the rising water level. Stay informed about potential risks 24/7.
Where should you use the micro float switch?
Experience peace of mind with our cutting-edge technology that provides real-time temperature detection for critical situations like freeze alarms, high temperature alerts, and power outages. Enhance your monitoring capabilities with the micro float option to stay ahead of potential issues like sump pump failures and clogged discharge pipes.
NOTE: although the micro float is a quality float for a home sump pump application, we advise the following “good installation practices” to ensure the best, reliable, long-term operation, free of false alerts. 1) The micro float should be located in the sump pump basin away from the direct water inlet stream from the water inlet pipe to the basin. This inlet pipe can aggressively introduce water to the basin during heavy rain, so during a heavy rainstorm, locating this out of the stream of incoming water eliminates false alerts due to splashing water. 2) If you are draining a water softener directly into your sump pit, be sure to keep the micro float away from direct submersion in salty water which can cause scale, clogging, and corrosion. 3) If you are draining your hot water heater’s hot water directly into your sump basin, be sure to not submerge the micro float into very hot water which can wrap/damage the sensor plastic.
