Can the sensor be dangling in the sump pit or should it be tied to the tube on the sump pump pipe?

The beauty of this unit is that you can do either, however, I'd tie-wrap it with the sensor pads facing away from the pipe and probably horizontally oriented.

I did just that, and today I found it at the bottom of the sump. I guess it does not give aout a "save me" alert when it is submersed. So tie it well!

A one-inch hole would be plenty. If you would prefer a smaller hole, how about: 1) Clip the cable so that the sensor plate is no longer attached. 2) There are two wires in the cable; clip one of the two wires 1/4" shorter than the other. 3) Strip off some insulation from each of the two wires. Be sure not to strip so much off the longer wire that the shorter wire can touch the longer wire's bare metal, and thus sound a false alarm. Once you've done that, you could probably shove the wire through a very tiny hole and it would still do a fine job of detecting water.

the " T" kit should have been installed in the piping when the salt system was first put in. If replacing the "flow senser" you only need to replace the sensor it self, no need for the "T".

The sensor is located inside the unit so location is important. I placed mine in the same opening as the original detector. It should be as close to the floor as possible since propane is heavier then air.

It has the sensor inside. If you're using it for both propane and CO, you should put it low to the ground close to your propane tank.

I bought one of these switches to go with a different manufacturer other than Wayne, but there's no reason for it to be incompatible. Simply plug your current pump into the replacement switch plug, and then that into your outlet. The vertical switch plug creates a circuit only when the float has risen high enough which then activates your pump; pretty clever. You'll simply need to figure how to mount the switch at the appropriate level in your sump pit. I attached mine to a vertical piece of pvc I have as the discharge pipe. Good luck!

I'm afraid I didn't use it in a water environment, so I don't know. You might place the sensor in an airtight sealable sandwich bag, then tape up the spot where the cord exits.

It has a Water Detection Sensor that you can add. It has a phone cord and phone cord jack in the unit that it plugs into. Not sure if your sump pump switch would be compatible. But phone cord is cheap and you can run additional cord if needed from the unit to the sump and use the sensor. That way it wouldn't alarm every time your sump kicked in, but rather would only alarm if the sump ran over onto the floor. The sensor is worth the extra $ if it doesn't come with the unit you buy. I have one that has been in service for 3 or 4 years and still works flawlessly. I will say this unit is more dependable then some others on the market. Beware.

No. Since the water basically "completes the low voltage circuit" between the hi and lo sensors, there are no moving parts. So, unless your unit gets popped with a bad electrical surge, I don't see what could become an issue. I have a Cutler-Hammer whole house surge... Since you can set where the hi and lo sensors go, I would bet you could elongate the cycling time of your pump (it will run for longer, but not as often - i.e. better for the pump)... Thanks, JTS

you may want to silicon the probe only to the tank. You shouldn't get the terminal between the probe and the cable wet. You can set the thermostat to warm temps as well as cold

I put it in the upstream spot but it is listed as "universal" which makes me think it would work in either position. Be aware that it is not supplied with connectors. The buyer must splice extant connectors onto the Denso sensors wiring.

You put it on the end of the hose. Make sure you secure it tightly with the enclosed zip ties. Good luck.

The flow sensor is built into the cell, which connects to the control panel. If you are running one of those Intex type pool filet/pump all in one I would suggest upgrading to a sand filter and good strong pump. The system does not to generate a minimum number of gph to chlorinate.

Just leave it alone. It's part of the sensing operation. Still think it is a great little pump!

No. the water level needs to be above the level of the top of the pump (as Pictured) for the float valve to trun on. I suggest a Sump.

yes it is you want a pump liner for the sake of not having all the dirt debrie suck up you pump and possible clog it up. Put the liner in the pit and put your sump pump it next, but before placing the liner in the pit put several holes around the diameter of the liner the heavy items will fall to the bottom while the water filters through the holes. Drill several holes around the primeter about one half inch in diameter.

It rides in center of tire so it shouldn't affect the sensor, but filling through valve stem is probably not a good idea. I'd break bead on tire and fill that way ic possible.
