My sump pump has an attached float that slides up/down on a vertical pole &amp; it is not a piggy back style I can unplug. Will it easily work w/ this?

Yes - you would remove the float from the pump thus deactivating the float mechanism. Then you permanently set the float switch in the up or on position; I suggest using a zip tie or some wire. Then the hi-lo sensors provide power to the pump whenever they are both submerged in water.

You can install the float switch independent of the pump, meaning it doesn't have to go on the pvc discharge tube. You can mount it at the lowest point you want by attaching it to a post etc. Remember, the pump will run for an additional 10 seconds after the switch trips to the off position, to clear the remaining water in your sump well.

Yes you can.... very simple too... you just need to secure a point on the power cord that allows float to move freely....

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

There is a separate tether switch that plugs into the main cord. It can be removed if you want the pump to run continuously.

If you are asking can you operate it without the pole yes, If you mean above or out of water not so much. I did not find it to be functional in a real pool environment.

The float switch can be installed anywhere in the pit that is practical. It doesn't have to be mounted on the discharge pipe above the pump. You pit may be different, but I have a 2" dia PVC return/overflow pipe that comes in from the side of my pit (approx. 15 from bottom) and sticks out into the pit about 3". I attached a 90 deg elbow (bent downward) along with a 4" section of straight pipe. I attached the float to this 4" section of straight pipe so that the bottom of the float is just a couple inches from the bottom of the pit. works great.

Absolutely! I have one installed horizontally. I tried to mount it vertical but due to the configuration of the pump and surroundings I had to make it horizontal. It works perfectly and is still totally quiet. I've mounted others vertically and I see absolutely no difference in the way the valve works. Go for it!

it will work with any outlet from the pump. I have a Polaris in the middle, main outlet in the deep, and the skimmer in the shallow. I just leave attached and then readjust when needed or when I reboot especially before the kids swim.

I connect the swivel end of pool hose to the vacuum then connect the non-swivel end of the pool hose to the skimmer. It works good except it's not heavy enough to roll high up the pool sides without floating up.

Do you want the automatic pump to run when the battery power is turned off? If so any single pole switch will work because your power to the float is wired direct to the battery. While the other power wire runs to the switch from battery controlling the manual operation. Did this help?

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

Either way works. My float died after a few months. I had to transfer one off an old pump.

Yes1) You will need a threaded pvc adapter. The threaded end fit the pump and glue 1 1/2" pvc pipe into the other end 2) Drill a small hole as per instructions on the vertical rise so the pump doesn't airlock3) I would also install a one way valve (check valve) on the vertical rise about $10 or so at Menards..........they are rubber and connected with hose clamps.Should work finethank youBill Sparks

Yes...it just has a 110 outlet that you plug your sump pump into. The controller then plugs into the house outlet and then switches power to the pump when the float switch is activated.

typically you can use any switch for sump pumps but if you want specifics you will have to match the end of the switch up to make sure it works with the float rod. this one should match as zoeller didn't change to much.

Yes, you can do that. You can also bypass the float switch and run the pump manually by unplugging the pump power cord from the piggyback plug on the float switch and running it directly to the power outlet.
