Q: How does the level guard switch work by Gary R from Ohio on May 03, 2014
A: Thank you for your interest in Sump Pumps Direct. The LevelGuard switch works based on Field Effect sensing technology that was developed by TouchSensors, Inc out of Wheaton, IL. Field-Effect sensors are digital, solid-state electronic devices that can detect conductive materials such as water or the human touch. The sensor’s cell design uses an integrated circuit (IC) that switches its output state when the conductive target is sensed. A Field-Effect cell is comprised of three main elements, the IC, a unique sensing electrode geometry, and two tuning resistors. Moreover, Field-Effect requires no moving parts, floats, software, or any other mechanism to operate. When 5 VDC is supplied to the sensor, a low power, invisible field is created. The field emanates directly through any protective dielectric barrier such as plastic or glass that may surround or cover the sensor. When a conductive object or material enters the field, the sensor detects the change and indicates an event has occurred with a corresponding output signal. The input stimulus to the field is typically water in most liquid level sensing applications, as is the case in TouchSensor’s™ LevelGuard Home Sump Pump Control product line. by Jim, Product Expert

Very, Very Happy With The Pump
This sump pump was small enough, so that I could place two pumps in an eighteen inch diameter sump with one switch place 2 inches higher on the pipe, this way I can have a backup pump in place in case the main pump should fail. I also wired each pump to it's own circuit and have a standby pump ready to replace a pump should it fail. Our water table went up over two feet, which meant one pump ran all the time and the second pump cycled. I am glad I found this pump but, it has only been installed for 6 months, so I can't really rate it yet. So far I really like it.

Works Well So Far
Have 1/3 H.P Liberty pump hooked up to Level Guard switch. They have not been running much. So far so good. But will see how they work come next spring.
Pros:Quiet, Durable, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again

"Very good about telling you what kind and how big a pump you need."
Bought this product to see how it would work. Wanted to avoid the issue of a tethered float getting hung up in my pit. Level Guard was very easy to install and like that you can control the amount of water that fills up in your pit before it engages. Only complaint would be the price. Probably anywhere from three to four times the cost of a tethered float, but with a 5 year warranty, hoping that will make up from buying a new tethered float every one to two years.
Pros:Easy To Use, Quiet, Light Weight
Cons:Expensive

"Happy with company and fast service. Had to return a pump which I made a mistake on the order. Tried to intercept the product before I received it to save on the return shipping cost. Was able to do that, but was still charged $21 to return the pump, which seemed like a lot. Company ships pumps fast, usually within 2 days which is awesome."
Excellent combination. The Liberty pump is great. About 1/3 quieter over the old setup. The Level Guard switch works well. Having 10 inches between start and stop makes a huge difference compared to around 3.5 inches with my old sump and it's mechanical switch.
So far - so good. Has been installed for about three weeks now. I shall see in a few years how the components hold up, but so far I believe this was definitely a worthwhile purchase.
Since I was replacing an existing pump, the setup was very easy. Just a small amount of effort required for fitting the new PVC outflow pipe to the new check valve.

"About Sump Pumps Direct - I could not get over how dang fast the standard shipping was. I still cannot figure out how they shipped this to me within a matter of two days. It was sitting on my porch on a Saturday afternoon."
Original pump that we had wouldn't shut off due to the float switch malfunction. Level Guard was the answer, paired up with the liberty pump with the help of the experts here at SumpPumpsDirect . Just need to upgrade our back up system.

"With the help of Sump Pump Direct paired the Liberty Pump and Level Guard, can't go wrong! Thank You"
Installed both about a week ago. So far the Liberty 250, 1/3 HP pump is much quieter then any pump I've used in the last 44 years. The Level Guard Switch has been working flawlessly and reduced by half, the amount of cycles my old pump used. Have to see how long they last. Only gave 4 stars because only used a week. Will recommend to family & friends!

Liberty Pump W Level Guard
changed 3 mechanical switches and a pedestal pump in 2 years because they were cheaply made. This new pump is super quiet and the level guard switch is awesome.

Quiet And Efficient
I have only had this combo installed for a month, but silence is golden! I verified the manufacturer's claim of 5.2 amps of current while running. This is less than half of the electricity of the "green" pump that was previously installed.
The LevelGuard switch is great and simple to install. My last two pumps needed to be replaced due to float switch failure. I am hoping that those days are over!
