does this pump have sensors that "tell" the pump when to turn on to get rid of water

Yes the pump does have a float sensor that only turns on when the pump fills with water.
194365
Yes, the pump has a float switch which energizes the pump when the reservoir is filled to a certain level.
194366
Yes, it works on an internal float that when the water rises, the pump runs. The two blue wires connect to your system as an emergency shut-off should the water not get pumped out. Works well so not to flood your utility room.

yes it has a float switch built in so when the level of water gets to a set level it turns on the pump to remove the water.

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

Yes, but the sensor has to be placed where the water would flow. There also has to be a phone jack in that area so the control unit can send out the the water alarm.

No it doesn't, I recommend getting the accessory float switch. The switch plugs into an outlet, then the pump plugs into the float switch.

NO IT DOES NOT !!!!!! --be very careful because the pump itself gets VERY hot --its the water around it that keeps the pump cool, if it gets too hot will burn out

Yes. It runs on a pressure switch that isn't sensitive enough to detect less than an inch or two of water. Depending on how high it's lifting water, a little can get past the check valve leaving you with some in the sink. A better valve might help. I wired an AC relay in parallel so I can operate it by a push button switch switch when I want to get it empty.

Yes, if you can be sure that the water will never be sudsy. If there are suds, they can form a "bridge" between the sensor and discharge pipe from the pit that will keep the sensor triggered even though the water may completely pumped out. A better solution would be the HC5000 Sewage Pump Switch, which is designed specifically for these types of applications.

no it doesn't. there is no "default" mode. when the water is turned on it either sprays or streams depending on what mode it was on before the water was turned off. hope this helps.

Yes,Mine did. I tested for this,and was able to continue to siphon water through the pump,when it was off.

Correct. When the water level hits the highest sensor the pump starts running. When the water level fall to the lowest sensor, the pump shuts off.

I don' t really understand the question but I will try to answer. It has a float switch that is mounted on a rod. The water gets higher the float slides up the rod and the pump turns on. You could also slide the float up manually to turn on.

yes, There is a sensor to control the water level,it's automatic, so no worry.

When the water hits a height over the pump the pump turns on.I didn't have good luck with this pump. It stop working correctly with 6 months

I believe it monitors the current consumption of the pump. When the pump isn't pumping water, the current is reduced. There's also some timers, the timer duration adapts over time based on the current consumption.

Yes it does....you can set it in one hour increments. In addition, it shuts off automatically if the water tank runs dry.

The sensor is in the "head". What is great is that it's looking down, not forward. I read reviews of other pumps that are so sensitive that you walk by and they get activated. Not this one, as this is "looking" down and it only dispenses soap when you want it to. I had it for eight months, and love it.

Yes it does and is it also has the option for intermittent spray every 30 seconds. When the water runs too low it shuts off automatically
