at what angle does the switch turn pump off

I couldn't tell you what degree it shuts on or off but, it does have a wide range of options. It all depends on where you anchor it and how much slack you give it. It comes with a mounting strap/house clamp and is relatively easy to install. I use my switch in my aquaponic system and its simply installed with zip ties/tie straps. I have it set at the shortest range of motion and it moves approx. 5-8". A really good switch but if you put some marine silicon on the seams, you'll get alot more life out of it!

No, it only has two positions, so that flow goes through one port or the other. There is no "off" position.

Thomas - Yes, there is an on/off switch on the pump itself. It has a rubber/weather resistant switch.

There is an on/off switch on the pump. I wired my power thru another switch as the pump is not easy to get to where it is located and just leave the pump switch on.

no on off switch. I use it in a 3 gallon plastic bucket. It must be filled pretty much all the way in order for the element to be fully submerged

No there is no manual on off switch,the unit has a cord and plug. I ran it o a switched outlet. Its a centrifugal pump so if water drops below the foot valve the pump will continue to spins which doesn't damage a centrifugal for short bursts. I suggest a pressure switch be added so if pressure drop the unit will shut of if that is a potential problem. Mine is on a very low pressure system so I dont need a foot valve. Mine is used as a booster for pressure if the main pumps fail to keep up flow.

There is no polarity on the switch. Connect the one to the POS+ from the battery and connect the other to the POS+ to the pump.

The switch is a rod going through to either side at about where the tip of the index finger rests. when its centered its off. pushing it from either side turns it on. Turning it off requires pushing it back to center from the side opposite the one you turned it on from.

The lever that switchs from pump out only to flush and pump is probably not over all the way.

There is a button on the pump so you can adjust the flow either up or down. The lights have a place to turn off the lights on the bar.

The pump is meant to be submerged within a sump pit or similar. As water rises, the side-switch float rises eventually activating the pump. The switch float has a guard attached (metal loop) to keep it from hanging up against the side of the sump pit. (My previous pump had an unguarded float switch. The switch eventually jammed against the side of the pit and prevented the pump from operating. My basement flooded as a result.

You have to turn off with a switch. I have mine hooked up to 12vdc battery on my golf cart that I use for maintenance at my rv park. Only actually uses power when you are spraying or if loses pressure. If you here pump actuating a lot when not in use check that cap and nozzle connections are tight. I love the distance and nozzle spray patterns. Sprays a good distance when on stream setting. I love this thing and wish I had gotten it years ago.

It does NOT have a on off switch. You will have to install a timer with auto on/off (you can manually turn it on/off). Don't mess around buying some bargain Chinese pump because you save $50 bucks. I live in Florida & the salt air will eat up the cheap stuff in 2-3 years. I replaced Chinese junk on my pool & my spa.

Facing the pump and near the bottom where the electrical wiring goes into the pump, there is a 3 postion switch. Slow / Off / High. The switch allows changes of the electrical AC voltage to the pump motor (internal wiring) which in turns changes the speed of the pump from low / off / high. Low speed asllows you leave the pump on 24/7 with mimimum power use. High speed can be used 24/7 also but is usually used for 6-8 hour durations. Depending on your pool size and how you want to use it. I use the high speed during heavy periods of use and after alot of rain. Also when and after adding chemicals (helps to disperse chemicals quickly). When not in use, I switch to slow speed.

I have never seen that done before. I would just switch the hoses if I wanted to reverse the flow instead of switching polarity of the pump.

Pumps do not like to run "dry". The float switch turns off the pump when the water level drops below the suction inlet to protect the pump from burning out. I have burnt out many a pump that did not have low water switches.

There is no external switch. The auto shutoff plugs in separately into the main plug. Once the water level is too low, the pump automatically shuts off. You can bypass the auto shutoff by not plugging the separate plug into the main plug, but then the pump runs constantly and could burn out if the water level gets too low.
