Frequently Asked Questions

What is a float switch, and how does it work?

A float switch is a mechanical device that rises and falls with the water level in the sump pit. When the water level reaches a certain point, the float switch triggers the pump to turn on. When the water level drops, the float switch triggers the pump to turn off.

Are sump pumps with float switches more expensive than standard sump pumps?

Yes, sump pumps with float switches are generally more expensive than standard sump pumps. However, the added convenience and energy efficiency they provide make them a worthwhile investment.

Can I install a sump pump with a float switch myself, or do I need to hire a professional?

While it’s possible to install a sump pump with a float switch yourself, we recommend hiring a professional to ensure a safe and proper installation.

How often should I test my sump pump with float switch?

We recommend testing your sump pump with float switch every 2-3 months to ensure it’s working properly. Simply pour some water into the sump pit to trigger the pump and check that it’s turning on and off correctly.
