Can it be used to shut off pump when a water tank is full?

Greetings, The switch is NO (normally open). When it floats, the switch closes. You need to find a float that is normally closed, to power the pump until the float floats, at which tme the switch will open and stop the pump. Best from Dan.

I don't think so. It works in the opposite way, when the float rises sufficiently it turns on the power that activates the sump pump, so I think it is doing the exact opposite of what you want.

No auto shut off but with a full thing of water it could run over a good 10 minutes. You can use it anywhere id say.

Probably not as you must hold the "on button" on the pump down for 3 seconds before the pump comes on. Otherwise, the pump is great and I use it to water my garden from three rain barrels I have. Glad to answer any other questions you might have.

Yes this pump eliminates the sump pan for the most part. It also has a high level switch which you could use to shut down the equipment and or issue an alarm.

Yes when it runs out of the amount of water you put in it automatically shuts off.

yes you can. our pump never turns off but the salt water pump only runs three hours.

yes My shut off is under the water meter cover by the street. When I lift the cover, the valve is about one foot down. This works to shut off all water to my house.

You can narrow the orifice . So I guess the answer would be yes. I'm sorry not a better answer There's not a low water shut off and I burnt the motor in mine. It did work well prior to that

there is not an automatic shut off. You do have the option of turning it on so that the machine runs for 1 minute and is off for 1 minute, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure of how long the on/off time is, but it's quite sshort. There is a clear raised line inside the water reservoir for the max fill line. Sort of reminds me of the clear raised lines on the clear caps of liquid laundry detergent. I either take it in the bathroom to fill where there is good light, or I only fill it half full. If it is empty, it will not run.

I would think no. It has a very small water collection area, and will just shut off when full.

I believe so. The pump is a little annoying. You don't have to have the pump on. I accidentally turn the pump off because of it's location, so that is a little annoying also. However, it is the only iron I have found that you have to option to override the auto shutoff.

No,This Float Starts The Pump When The Water Reaches AFull Level, Called Normally Open Circuit. You Want A Float That Shuts Off The Pump At A Full Level And Starts When Low Level, Called Normally c

No there is no manual on off switch,the unit has a cord and plug. I ran it o a switched outlet. Its a centrifugal pump so if water drops below the foot valve the pump will continue to spins which doesn't damage a centrifugal for short bursts. I suggest a pressure switch be added so if pressure drop the unit will shut of if that is a potential problem. Mine is on a very low pressure system so I dont need a foot valve. Mine is used as a booster for pressure if the main pumps fail to keep up flow.

I believe it senses a different electrical from the motor when the pump begins to pull air when it empties the tank. I had my doubts when I bought it, but it always shuts off when it should.

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.

This pump works fine as an inline pressure booster. As far as a pressure shut off, I believe the only factors are; it is not self priming, and if the start up head pressure is to high the pump is unable to perform.

No, it does not automatically shut off. The manual actually advises that if the water level gets too low you can burn the pump out. I have two cats drinking from it so top off each day. When I take a trip I leave a big sign for the house setter to remind to top off each day.
