Can I use this to also fill a water tank and have it switch the pump off when it is full?

Yes you can.... very simple too... you just need to secure a point on the power cord that allows float to move freely....

It might be possible to have it maintain a level within about 6 inches, but it would be easier to use a float valve and a pressure switch to cycle the pump on and off.
627672
no...this one shuts off on the lower level. There are others that switch out on the up side of the float movement.

Yes you can. You will have to anchor the cord somewhere above the float ball to determine the height that you want to fill to. Dennis.

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

Yes you can. If your current pump has a switch on it that can be replaced. You will need to attach the float to the barrel being filled, position it near the top of the barrel. The cable from the new float will need to run back to your water pump and connected to the old float switch cable. You will probably have to make 2 splices to the cable and put heat shrink tubing over the cable splices to ensure they are water tight.

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!

There is no switch, but you can run it manually by unplugging the pump's cord from the back of the switch's cord and putting that one directly into the socket.

No, it drains into a reservoir, and a light comes on when it's full so that you know to empty it. It turns itself off when the reservoir fills up so that it doesn't overflow.

I a believe it does Yvonne. I put it in as a designated line which I can keep running or throw a switch on the post. Sorry..I'm not technical, but I believe there is a on/off switch on the pump...but would not advise using it that way.

you need a float switch for auto operation, they are sold separately.this pump will run continuously when connected, water or no water.

I did not use this float switch in a tank. I set it up on a sump pump to keep water out of my well pit. It works great for that purpose. It is used more for turning on the pump when water is high. And emptying rather than filling to a set level.

Yes you can. I suggest having two tanks with a bypass regulator for uninterrupted service. One tank empties, switch bypass to full tank and fill up empty tank at your leisure.

I believe if you were to use this timer for that purpose that a properly sized relay should be used to switch the load and the timer would turn the relay on and off. Pumps draw a large current especially during startup. For durability the relay should be about 30amp.

yes you can. our pump never turns off but the salt water pump only runs three hours.

Roger, There is no switch on this pump (on/off) you just plug in when you want it to run an then unplug when you are done. If you have a 14x42 or bigger pool, you would need to run the pump for 3-4 hours a day (preferrablly 2 hours in morning and then 2 hours at night) in order to keep it krystal Clear (Hope this Helps)

No, it is either on and pumping or off when power is disconnected. Unless you have a way to turn the power on and off from water level then it is on all the time.

No. Turn on the power switch and go. Automatically shuts off when water tank runs dry.

Not as is you would have to put a float switch between the battery and the pump. This pump as is only works with a on off switch.

Not directly. If you have a pressurized system as soon as there is a demand for water the pump should activate. Otherwise no.

You can but it sprays so it might be difficult to fill a glass of water. The device snaps on and off so easily you probably won't see it as a problem. You could leave it on if you run the water slowly.
