Is this a 3 position switch? On up, middle off, down on? Need it for a bilge pump and its float. Float setting on for auto bilge,on for manual bilge p

The switch I bought is a two position switch. Up for on and down for off. After going back and reading the listing I saw that they have the configuration you are looking for available for your bilge pump. Good luck!

As long as this is the same part number I bought, it is either on or off, there is no middle position. The one I bought is not a three position switch.

Yes. When you order the switch, you choose the configuration. You want the constant on- constant off- constant on configuration. Worked great for me.

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.

No... I have mine wired directly to a on/off switch. A float switch is an option of course.

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.

The constant on/constant off switch will work to switch the pump on and off manually. It will run continuously until the switch is turned off. Connect the wire that activates the float switch directly to the battery so it will come on automatically when water level in the bilge reaches the float.

Manual is not clear where it should sit...but if it does float above water until water low....mine does not turn off.

This pump is NON-Automatic, you will need to add the Rule-A-Matic Float Switch 35A or get the combo.Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help youThank you very much

Yes ,but I put a switch (single pole double throw) one position is automatic (off and on with the float switch) And the other to run direct all the time It is VERY important to put a 10 amp fuse on the red wire If there is a short it will save the pump motor ,and other elect equipment My son uses the boat and he likes the auto position the best BTW it is a great pump for the price

There are two on off switches one on the pump one on the supply wire, I hope this helps. I put mine in the back of my Polaris Ranger I put a toggle switch in the cab it works great.

I can't tell you how to wire your pump, but I can tell you that the float switch changes state from normally open to normally closed (and vice versa) by removing the retainer clip and inverting the float.

The one I received was the 800 GPM non-automatic bilge pump. It operates with a separate float switch. I use it in the shower sump.

Just installed one on my boat, and the switch only lights when in the ON position.

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.

I am not familiar with the model numbers but if you have either a submersible or shallow well pump plus a pressure tank you should be able to install this switch on your pressure tank to turn the pump off and on with the rise and fall of the pressure. Normally it does not depend on the model of pump you have. I am assuming the pump is for household use and that you are using a 220 volt single phase line. Normally such a pump would be at least 1/2 hp and no more than 1 1/2 hp. So unless you have some kind of commercial unit for a commercial application it should work.

I'm not sure what a momentary switch is. It's got 2 "on" positions so you can wire it to something like a bilge pump that has an "auto" and "on" capability. That's how I used it and it works great.

Yes it needs a switch, it just comes with pig tail wire leads. The switch you connect depends on what you want to do and fitment to your boat. A float switch in the bilge will turn it on when ever the bilge fills until it pumps out enough water assuming your batteries are supplying power to the switch - good if your boat is parked in a marina with power overnight. A manual switch will only run the pump when you switch it on, this also allows you to let the motor with no water present and run the bilge dry which isn't great for it - and you could also kill your battery if you let it run for days on end with no aux power connected. The switch should be rated for 18-24V and be fuse protected. 15A is probably more than enough.

In the manual there are instructions resetting the down force. I believe you have to set dip switch positions and then run the initial down force setup.
