Float Switches, Float Switch D

These fully encapsulated mechanical (NO mercury!) float switches make life a little easier by providing automatic control of fluid level in the tank. You regulate the range of water levels by merely lengthening or shortening the power cable. Easily installed, the switches are rated at 15 amps at 12 volts, or 13 amps at 120 volts. The 'U' model will fill a tank (closed circuit when float is down, open circuit when up) and the 'D' model will drain it (closed circuit when up, open circuit when down). When used with a PV-Direct Pump Controller, the 'U' and 'D' functions are reversed: 'D' will fill and 'U' will empty. Not sure if you want an 'up' or 'down' float switch? Confused by reverse logic controllers? The goof-proof float switch is your salvation. This 3-wire float switch can be connected either way. There's a common wire, an 'up' wire, and a 'down' wire. If it doesn't work right, just switch wires. 5-amp maximum current. Safe for domestic water. Two-year mfr.'s warranty. USA.
