Sump Pump Switches

A sump pump switch acts as a level sensor to alert your pump to rising water levels in a sump pit. These pump switches can either be float or digital in nature. As the water level rises to a certain point, a pump's float switch will open a circuit which allows the pump to begin pumping water up and out of the basement. An electronic switch will alert the pump when the water level reaches a certain point in the basin. Regardless of the type of switch, a sump pump replacement switch is a fundamental part of any properly functioning sump pump.
