if used in conjuction with a inline pump will this switch only open the water flow on demand?

Ralph this works on water pressure and it electrically turns the well pump on when pressure in the water lines drops to like 40 lbs or where ever you have it set to then the pump comes on and pumps until the pressure is up to 60 lbs or where ever you have it adjusted to. It does not valve any water it is just a on and off for the well pump

Yes, depending on the pressure in the line. You can't manually operate the switch, it's automatic.

Yes, the pump has a float switch which energizes the pump when the reservoir is filled to a certain level.

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.

As long as the flow rate of the pump is high enough to activate the flow switch in the water heater it will work.

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.

Installed properly, your bilge pump will operate automatically through the switch and also can be turned on manually through your main switch. Personally I had 3 of these electronic float switches and all went bad in 30 days. I prefer the ball floats.

I bought one of these switches to go with a different manufacturer other than Wayne, but there's no reason for it to be incompatible. Simply plug your current pump into the replacement switch plug, and then that into your outlet. The vertical switch plug creates a circuit only when the float has risen high enough which then activates your pump; pretty clever. You'll simply need to figure how to mount the switch at the appropriate level in your sump pit. I attached mine to a vertical piece of pvc I have as the discharge pipe. Good luck!

No, it's a straight-through connection. I prefer the straight-through better though since the built-in shut-off versions restrict the water volume and pressure.

I have never seen that done before. I would just switch the hoses if I wanted to reverse the flow instead of switching polarity of the pump.

The switch on the left determines from which of the two hose attachments the water will flow. It does not work terribly well as it didn't lock in place so it functioned best if you just wanted to momentarily send some water into one hose versus the other. I misread the description and thought you could program for two different hoses but that is not the case and only one can function at a time- no option for both to be open.

Yes it does, that is the what the 2.5 gpm rating is specifying (as not to exceed 2.5gpm). The button is not intended for regulation, it is intended for shutting "off" the flow (less a trickle, for indicating that the water valve itself is still on) for ease of use by those with disabilities. That is why we by them for our facility, high use, durable, and inexpensive to replace. (Facility Director)

my thought is it will overload the capacity of the switch. both pumps would be on at the same time so I believe that will be too much. look at pumps wattage draw compared to specs of switch. good luck.

This pump does have an automatic switch that works based on the water level. (I can't answer about the discharge head height.)

mine will work either way. It is plumbed but you don't have to hook it up ,you can use it as I do as a pour over. I have a half pot switch and a start switch but they are only used if the water line is attached.

No, You can connect it to any connector (4pin) and yes it does start the pump

Yes. The rubber covered switch works fine. I have two of these pumps, one since 2007, and never have had a switch problem.

No. It can't be used for a switch, the purpose of it is to conserve your hot water when it gets warm.
