Float Switches for Reliable Liquid Level Control
Float switches are essential for automatic level control in sump, sewage, and other non-potable liquid systems. By turning pumps on and off based on liquid level, they help prevent overflow, flooding, and unnecessary pump wear—removing the guesswork from managing your system.
At ePumps, we stock mechanical float switches in 110V and 220V configurations, along with models from trusted manufacturers like Square D. Whether you’re outfitting a new basin or replacing a worn switch, you’ll find dependable, field-proven options here.
Where Float Switches Are Used
Our float switches are commonly used in:
- Sump pits and basements
- Sewage and effluent pits
- Lift stations and collection tanks
- Utility and wastewater holding tanks
They’re designed for non-potable liquid applications where reliable level detection is critical for safety and system performance.
Choosing the Right Float Switch
When selecting a float switch, consider:
- Voltage: Match 110V or 220V to your pump and electrical system.
- Cord length: Choose 15' or 50' cables based on pit depth and control panel location.
- Pump type: Verify compatibility with submersible sump or sewage pumps.
- Duty & environment: Ensure the switch is rated for the liquid type and operating conditions.
If you’re unsure which model fits your setup, our team can help you quickly narrow down the best option based on pump data and basin dimensions.
