Can I connect a 120VAC pump for a fishy tank to this Wet Switch?

I don't believe so. As far as I know, this Wet Switch is designed to be used for the HVAC (Furnace). If you do a search on the internet on "Wet Switch Installation", you'll see that it has wires that you connect to the HVAC unit. It is designed to turn off the furnace once it detects water/moisture. My HVAC technician installed it. I am not an electrician or HVAC specialist. This is all I know. Sorry that I'm not much of a help.

It would be possible to wire it to work for that but it will require a 24V power supply and a relay with a 24V coil and contacts rated for 120V A/C. Since you will be dealing with high voltage, it should be enclosed in an insulated or grounded enclosure. I'm not sure what you want to accomplish. I imagine that you have a 120VAC pump that filters the water and you are concerned about it discharging into the floor. In the event that happened, you would want it to shut off the pump. Is that correct?

As this switch simply cuts the negative of any circuit, I believe you could rig it up to a fishy tank. Glhf.

The PID can not directly switch 120 volts but you can add a solid state relay (SSR) to switch the coil. Depending on the current that you are ultimately switching with the contactor you may be able to simply use a SSR by itself. Also be aware of the cycle time of the contactor if you use the PID decice. It's default switching frequency will be too high for a contactor and will cause premature wear.

Yes and with ease. A water heater draws many more amps when both elements are on and this switch works great for that...............

Probably not, it sends a low voltage low current output that would definitely not turn a pump on directly. You might be able to have it turn on a low voltage relay that would then turn on the pump.

I don't know why you couldn't, as long as otherwise the pump is switch via a normal 110-120vac switch. You could check the amp draw of the pump motor to be sure you aren't overloading contacts and confirming the amp draw is within the range of the Honeywell switch. Otherwise, we've used this controller with definite satisfaction to replace a solar operated switch on our multiple outlet outdoor light system. It's easy to install in an existing (or typical) switch box, and to program. Quite reliable.

No, but as long as the pump is DC powered and it is no more than 0-24 volts (max rated controller voltage) you should be good

No. The wet switch has to be manually reset after it comes in contact with water. Try something like this. Search amazon for HC8000 Sump Pump Controller (Float Switch)

I put mine I bought on a 15 gal tank, It says on the pump 60 PSI switch and 2.1 gal per minuet flow. It was easy to hook up and works like a charm.

Yes. My well pump is 220V 40amp. I have it connected to the first pair of red switches. The black breakers are 15 amp each, the reds are 20 amps each. Jumper bars are included in the kit, as are instructions. For 220V 30 amp you would jumper a pair of the black switches. Allow me to reiterate how ridiculously simple this is to install. You will spend more time planning your circuits than the actual wiring will take. Instructions are very clear. When we eventually move into another house I will buy this again and install there as well.

The unit has a built in electric pump that works both ways. It requires a 120 outlet.

The pump comes configured for 220v but can easily be reset for use on 120v supply. The inlet is 2" and outlet is 1 1/2"

Yes. As the connections are standard 110 AC, you can connect any brand (non variable) pumps.

I bought the pump, connected black to black and white to white, 120vac and it works great. No issues

What's the power requirements of your water heater? I doubt this will work. Most electric water heaters are 240v in the 4500 watt range. This switch can only handle 2300w.

I believe it would be fairly simple to wire in a momentary contact (push-button) switch to allow you to manually trigger the pump. This should wire in to the same two terminals that the float switch connects to, and would momentarily bypass the float switch circuit, applying power to the switch motor.

It is not a good idea to go across manufacturers lines with something as sensitive as the pump switch. Even if you would be able to physically get it to fit and wired correctly to function I would advise against it, unless the manufacturer says that it will work.

Must of the pumps are wire for 115/230 if you open the back cover you'll see the switch is close to the power connectors
