Product Description
The EFTSWPLG Tethered Piggyback Float Switch is engineered to provide dependable liquid‑level control in pump systems where automatic operation is required. As liquid levels rise, the float lifts and activates the pump through the piggyback plug. When the liquid level drops, the float returns to its resting position and shuts the pump off.
The tethered design allows installers to easily adjust the differential between pump activation and shutoff by changing the tether length. This flexibility makes it ideal for sump basins, pits, tanks, and other containment areas with varying size and depth requirements.
The piggyback plug configuration simplifies installation by allowing the pump to plug directly into the float switch, which then plugs into a standard power outlet. This design makes the EFTSWPLG an excellent solution for both new installations and replacement of failed or unreliable float switches.
