Does the pump have an on/off switch or do you have to connect/disconnect it from the battery?

The pump does not have an on/off switch. We have it on a timer connected through the computer software.

Since there is no external on-off switch on this fountain we simply unplug it when not in use. Our outlet outside has a waterproof cover so we don't worry about that. Hope this helped. Enjoy.

Mine does have an on/off switch!It operates on mains power only; not battery. There are three levels of operation, one: on all the time; and two where you can set it for dusk plus a few hours...and of course, off if you want it.

Thomas - Yes, there is an on/off switch on the pump itself. It has a rubber/weather resistant switch.

Not as is you would have to put a float switch between the battery and the pump. This pump as is only works with a on off switch.

No "on/off" switch. Whatever time you put the batteries in the unit it stays on for 5 hours and repeats daily.

There is no on/off switch however when you plug it in it is only in test mode until you set the charge rate and select the battery type. Just remember to connect the cables to the battery first then plug it in to the A/C outlet to prevent sparks. To turn it off just unplug it from the wall then remove the battery cables.

No, it is either on and pumping or off when power is disconnected. Unless you have a way to turn the power on and off from water level then it is on all the time.

Yes it does have an on and off switch. We really like our pump. I hope it works for you well if you decide to order one.

There is no external switch. The auto shutoff plugs in separately into the main plug. Once the water level is too low, the pump automatically shuts off. You can bypass the auto shutoff by not plugging the separate plug into the main plug, but then the pump runs constantly and could burn out if the water level gets too low.

YES!!! There is no on/off switch so you MUST disconnect. I did not and the battery was dead on Thanksgiving.

if this is like mine, then all the float switch does is make the wire connection as it floats up. so u can splice it into the positive or negative wire of your pump wires. as this does not need power, it just makes the connection or disconnects the power as it floats up or down that goes to your pump. u just simply splice into one of your pumps power wires.

I do not think there is an on/off switch. You just have to remove the plastic from the battery compartment, so the battery can engage. Mine just comes on automatically when it gets dark and the battery is charged. I love mine!

There is no on and off switch--it comes on when you plug it in and unplug to shut it off. Not what I would prefer, but I haven't had any problems.
