Level Sense 15 Feet Water Level Float Switch with Mounting Bracket

I'm a little paranoid when it comes to our sump pump, since we had an episode of basement flooding many years ago when our sump pump failed. I now have three separate sump pumps inside our basement sump well. One is the primary sump pump, with its built-in vertical float switch that cycles on and off when the water gets deep enough. I then have a secondary backup sump pump that is controlled by a separate vertical float switch, mounted so that this pump will only activate if my primary pump fails to keep the water level below its prescribed range. I also have a third sump pump that runs off a 12 volt battery. This is mounted towards the top of my sump well and will not activate unless the water level gets quite high (as would happen in a power outage). This is my pump of last resort.My problem was I did not have an easy way to monitor whether my primary sump pump was working normally. I needed a way to tell if the water level goes above where it normally cycles via the primary pump. This Level Sense Float Switch works perfectly for this application. I was easily able to mount it to one of my riser PVC pipes using the included zip ties. I placed it so that it is slightly above the highest water level allowed by my primary sump pump. That way, the Float Switch is never tripped unless my primary sump pump stops working. I have the Float Switch hooked up to a remote water leak sensor (YoLInk Water Leak Sensor 3 - which also I highly recommend). Now I can receive email and push notifications on my phone, as well as an audible alert whenever my primary sump pump stops working. I feel more secure.

Very easy to hook up and came with a very long length of wires, which was great , saved me some time. My battery back up sump pump didn't make parts for mine anymore; so, I went shopping on Amazon for something that might work and I'm so happy that it did. Now I don't have to buy a new backup

item does not work. I returned it for a refund however did not receive the refund. do not purchase this item or deal with amazon

I use two of these, in separate locations, to maintain the water level in a koi pond. For context, one has monitored the level at the pond itself, and the second is in the pump pit which cycles a couple times per minute. I'm back to buy replacements because after 5 years in constant service, the one in the pit is now intermittent. But I felt compelled to write a positive review because these have worked reliably for so long.

Great price and easy to install. I used it as the alarm switch for the high level alarm in my basement sump pump. It's been in for 2 monts and when I test it, it is still 100%. Fingers crossed that I never need it.
