Can you set the pump on the floor with the float auto shutoff , then operate at minimum water level of 3-4 in.

No: The float will start when it is at the top of the pump. Probably about 6"

NO, the auto shut off won't work unless in the up/floating position. To get the water level lower, I tied the float into an up position and then watched until it started sucking air.

You CAN, but only if you somehow elevate the float about 12 inches off the floor- stick a piece of wood under it or something, then it will easily eliminate that 3-4 inches of water.

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.

Don't think so. But there is an internal timer that's used for redundancy. It won't pump more than a certain% more than the previous times. If it is still calling for water, the safety shuts it down completely

You can narrow the orifice . So I guess the answer would be yes. I'm sorry not a better answer There's not a low water shut off and I burnt the motor in mine. It did work well prior to that

If you are looking for a switch to activate the pump at a certain water level and then shut off the pump when the water is gone, this will not work. I would look for micro switch.

When the water level raises enough for the float to raise the top lever/switch , it will turn on & pump the water out of your sump. When the water level is lowered to the bottom the float descends on the rod turning the pump off. It has been a great pump. Water level up pump on, water level down pump off. Thanks B.B.

I believe the float should remain at bottom and is suppose to trigger machine off when water is too low....but my machine never shuts down when water out as indicated.

Yes. The pump operates until a predetermined pressure is established. The pump then shuts off until pressure drops off.

I don't think so. It works in the opposite way, when the float rises sufficiently it turns on the power that activates the sump pump, so I think it is doing the exact opposite of what you want.

The waterbuster will pump lower than 2 inches in a level area but not less than an inch because the water has to be in the pump area. When the unit quits emitting water then shut it off or you will burn out the pump.

Yes. The float will turn it off and on, but you must make sure you do not submerge the power plug.

Depends on how high you are lifting the water. The higher you lift the less distance you can pump.

The answer is no ONLY if you do NOT install the pump outlet attachment. This attachment triggers a microswitch in the unit to turn on the pump when the predetermined level is reached. If not installed then it will gravity drain (if desired).

No,This Float Starts The Pump When The Water Reaches AFull Level, Called Normally Open Circuit. You Want A Float That Shuts Off The Pump At A Full Level And Starts When Low Level, Called Normally c

No. This pump must be operated by a manual switch unless a separate float switch is placed in the electrical circuit.

The switch in the float is designed to turn off when the float if up at roughly 45 degrees. If it's wired to the pump and the float is placed to reach the up position when the tank is full, it will turn off the pump.

Yes. You can set the pressure you want. When the line pressure drops a certain amount below that point, the pump comes on and brings the line pressure back up.

Yes, float switch has to reach the top to turn on. The system works best if lowered into a hole in the floot. I dug a hole big enough to lower a 5 gal bucket ( with holes drilled into it). Pump fits perfectly into it. Dont forget a check valve. Luck!
