Float switch ideal for contaminated water

Float Switch for Dirty Water

When normal floats have long given up, this one just gets started. Completely IP68 sealed, made entirely of robust plastic, for heavily contaminated water, wastewater, manure, and everything else rushing through the pump sump. Directly switchable up to 1 kW / 250 V – simply connect your submersible pump or solenoid valve, done. 1.75 m cable, VDE-tested for approx. 50,000 switching cycles, temperature range –20 °C to +50 °C – a real long-distance runner.

The technology is classic and ingenious: microswitch in a mercury-free ball housing, absolutely reliable even when it gets dirty. No sensitive reed contacts, no electronics – just pure mechanics that works when everything else is already clogged or corroded. Simply fix with counterweight or on the cable and off you go.

This float switch has been the favorite of all janitors, sewage plant operators, and garden owners with really dirty water for decades. Once installed, it does its job for years – without ifs or buts, without cleaning, without maintenance.
