Low rates and easiest to calculate/understand shipping/handling for sump watcher

Inexpensive and easy to install, the SumpWatcher does what the float switch does, only much better. The SumpWatcher uses reliable microprocessor technology so there is nothing to wear out! Whether replacing a switch that has already failed or just being pro-active and avoiding the damage that can be done when the switch finally does fail, installing a Sump or Ejector Pump Controller just makes sense to prevent water damage.

10 years? 5 years? 3 months?
Sooner or later the float switch on your sump pump is going to fail. There is no way to predict when it will happen, and there isn't any way to tell when it is starting to fail. The only thing you will know for certain is that it has failed and that is because you will have water all over your basement - and the expensive repairs from water damage!

What is a float switch?
The float switch is what turns your sump pump on and off in response to the water level in the sump pit. It's like a beach ball that "floats" on top of the water. When the water rises, the float rises with it. When it gets high enough, a switch inside the float closes and turns on the pump, draining the pit. When the water drops low enough, the switch inside the float opens and turns the pump off. And the cycle is repeated hundreds, thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of times during the life of the switch.

Why will it fail?
The float switch can fail for any number of reasons. Many times the float simply gets stuck between the pump and the wall of the sump pit. That's because the pump vibrates slightly whenever it runs, and can "walk" across the bottom of the pit, eventually trapping the float between it and the side of the pit. Other times, after so many up and down cycles, it just gives out and stops responding to the rise and fall of the water in the pit. Often it stops working while the pump is running. When this happens, the pump is left switched on so that it runs continuously until it burns itself out. You can't do regular maintenance on a float switch, you can only replace it once it fails.

What can you do?
Install a SumpWatcher! It's inexpensive and it's easy, and doesn't require a plumber to do it. The SumpWatcher does what the float switch does, only much, much better. The float switch hasn't changed much in the 75 to 80 years it's been used to control sump pumps. It is a mechanical device that has to eventually wear out. The SumpWatcher, on the other hand, uses reliable microprocessor technology to control the sump pump. In fact, the SumpWatcher is so reliable the manufacturer guarantees it for a full 5 years when used under normal conditions! They can do this because the SumpWatcher doesn't have any moving parts. It uses reliable solid state components to detect the rise and fall of the water in the sump pit. So there is nothing to wear out! And because it is so much smarter than a float switch it can do a lot more, like:
  • Warn you if your sump pump motor is starting to fail
    - so you can replace it before the water damage happens
  • Automatically adjust itself to any size sump pit
    - big, small, doesn't make any difference
  • Warn you if it can't drain the sump pit
    - because the pipes are frozen, the pump is bad, the impeller's damaged, the cord is unplugged, whatever the reason
Easy to Install

Just plug the SumpWatcher into a 115 VAC outlet, lower the sensor into the sump pit and secure it, plug the sump pump into the SumpWatcher control module and Go!

What's the difference between the Electronic Sewage Pump and the Electronic Sump Pump Switch?

The only difference is the way water is detected. The Electronic Sewage Pump uses the pump as the ground reference, and the Electronic Sump Pump has a ground reference in the sensor. The Electronic Sewage Pump is very sensitive so the sensor should not touch anything else in the pit ie; pipe, wall etc.. This is not an issue with the Electronic Sump Pump.
