does the float shut the pump off when the water tank is full
326561
It is for a sump pump pit so when the sump fills up it turns the pump on and then shuts off when the sump pump pit is empty.

Yes. When the float rises it triggers the water pump to stop filling because the tank is full.

The switch in the float is designed to turn off when the float if up at roughly 45 degrees. If it's wired to the pump and the float is placed to reach the up position when the tank is full, it will turn off the pump.

if the switch is a pump-up type,it will shut off when tank is full.A pump-down switch does the opposite.

I did not use this float switch in a tank. I set it up on a sump pump to keep water out of my well pit. It works great for that purpose. It is used more for turning on the pump when water is high. And emptying rather than filling to a set level.

Yes. When you install it you attach it to the pipe, as the water rises it starts to go inverted. That's when the internal switch turns on the pump. You adjust how high the maxwater level will by setting the amount of wire between the float and where you anchor it. Hope it helps.

This float switch is supposed to turn the sum pump on when the water reaches a certain level. The sum pump is to empty the container full of water. But for some reason if there is a lot of water, the float kind of reset it self and then starts again. I think you are looking for another kind of float switch, you know like the one used in toilet tank. ask for a water tank float switch. This float is not for you.

The float acts as a switch. As the tank fills, the switch on the float is turned on to drain the sump tank!

Hi, The way have this switch wired up, it breaks the contact when it is no longer upright. I have it connected to a pump which is pumping from a pool, and it floats under the water. When the water level drops low enough, it turns sideways or upside down, current no longer flows to the pump, and the pumping stops. When the pool fills up again, the pump turns on again. So, it is really intended for pumping out a sump, not filling a tank. I looked at the manual on line, at http://s3.pexsupply.com/product_files/RFSN-6,RFSN-9,RFSN-10-User.pdf. I did not see any indication that it can be rewired to work the other way. I hope this helps. Hi, The way have this switch wired up, it breaks the contact when it is no longer upright.

It does have a float that turns it off when it has pumped the liquid out; so it only runs when the water level rises to the pre-set level in the pump reservoir. It also has a high level limit switch that cuts the furnace off if the pump should fail for some reason. That way, the furnace won't keep making condensate that could spill out in the house if something happens to the pump.

No. Turn on the power switch and go. Automatically shuts off when water tank runs dry.

I have not had a problem wth the float. T tank and that valve is where I have had trouble. I will have the unit shut down with a full tank of water. Hope this helps.

Yes and if you turn it back on without adding more water it will shut right off

No, it does not shut off when full. Water runs out in the floor.Other than that, it works good. How do I correct this?

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.

I believe so as there is a float like what's in a toilet tank that shuts off the water when the level reaches the full mark. Mine works very well.
2017998
Yes. It shuts off the water flow until it cools down, then the water will come back on.

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.

Yes, there is a button on the bottom that is depressed when the unit is sitting upright. If tipped over or lifted up, it will shut off.

Hello,The way this pump works is when the water level reaches 2 inches, the float switch is activated and the pump starts to pump. Once the water level empties below 2 inches the pump shuts off. No water will be pumping once it turns off. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!Thanks,Paramount Direct

True, it doesn't shut off when out of water. However, for my two 40-lb dogs and 2 cats, the supply lasts like a month from the time the reservoir is first filled. It has enough capacity below the reservoir that if it is just empty when you go to work, the pump will not have run dry by the time you get home. Basically, it is a forgiving issue if you pay minimal attention to it.

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.

Yes ... It shuts off automatically when the water in the tank is distilled. Since you cannot fill the boiling tank with more water than will fit in the jug, you will not have over flow

It does shut off after a period of non use...but you have to open it up to turn it on. I used it on my last vacation and it was great! No worries about getting splashed.

I believe it depends on whether you are catching the water in the bucket or with the hose attached. Ours does not turn off at all with the hose attached. Without the hose it will shut off when the temperature is reached.
