I have a lake pump the only connect to the pump is 120V 3 wire Hot -Neutral-Ground - will this unit be able control turning the pump on and off?

If your're saying that you are pumping water from a lake to use for irrigation, I don't really know. I water the outdoor plants around my house. I installed two water valves off my main water line and connected SST-600 to control my drip-irrigation system. For each of the six watering options available on the SST it requires a valve; I just use two. The timer controls the opening and closing of water valves and the length of time the valves are open. The SST does a great job and what is most important to me, it is very easy to operate.

I believe the "output" power from the controller is only 24 volt AC. So it probably would not directly provide control for a 120 volt pump. However, you can go directly to the RAIN BIRD site and find the manual and spec's of this unit which will give you more specific answers.

I believe it would be fairly simple to wire in a momentary contact (push-button) switch to allow you to manually trigger the pump. This should wire in to the same two terminals that the float switch connects to, and would momentarily bypass the float switch circuit, applying power to the switch motor.

I connected mine to a 12Vdc power supply that I had from a previous project. batteries should work too, but of course they would require re-charging, kind of a pain. I installed a switch to turn the pump on and off. Also, I plan to use mine for sparging a beer mash. The pump has some gears that are lubricated with some type of grease. I would recommend running some hot water through it several times, before using it for human consumption. but it seems to run well, just a little noisy. hope this helps,

I cannot say for sure since I don't know enough about your pump, but I think it would work. I use this to control the speed of a 12V, 6A motor and it works very well.

That motor is configurable for either 110 volts or 220 volts, which it calls Lo and Hi. You need to figure out what voltage your supply is and adjust the white and brown wires to the corresponding positions. When you change out the pump mark your wired and you should be fine.

Sorry for the late reply.Unfortunately I cannot help you with this situation but I suggest that you check the specification of the 12v water pump.With my best wishes to find the solution

My hot tub has 120V control circuitry. So the answer would be yes. The pressure switch is just a relay. I would imagine that it would work on 12VDC, 110V, or 220V circuits.

Not really sure; suggest checking with a licensed electrician. I am using this switch as a replacement to an identical one that controlled my 1hp pool pump, a use that this switch was primarily designed for.

Imprinted on top of unit is 12 volt, 3 Amp with 6 amp fuse. Three wires, one negative plus two positive. One positive to run using the included/enclosed automatic float and one positive to run the pump manual from a switch. Your choice, either or both.

probably will. Pumps are high inductive loads that pull a lot of power to start up. You might also consider a 12 volt bilge pump connected directly to the marine battery. Will require a bit of plumbing, but more energy efficient since you don't have to convert voltage. Also, you could set up the bilge pump with it's own float switch so it comes on automatically. What if you are not home when the power goes out? Who will move the plug for the 120 Volt bilge pump from the wall to the inverter?

You could use this for any cooling/heating functions - this is a passive dual relay controller - that is to say that while the unit itself runs off 12 v dc - it will power whatever voltage you want up to the rated amps of course - you have to supply the power source independent of the 12 v dc to drive the unit - also it is dual function - you set a temp and it will take care of both cooling and heating - it will close a relay turning on cooling or it will close a relay turning on heating depending on the preset temp and operating range you set.

No. The wet switch has to be manually reset after it comes in contact with water. Try something like this. Search amazon for HC8000 Sump Pump Controller (Float Switch)

I use it for a water pump in my park model because my park model does not have 12 volt, the pump works on demand. My suggestion would be to consider the amps needed also before purchasing anything. Hope this helped

Yes, it will work with existing wires going outside to the pump area. The only thing to consider is that the existing wire on your unit might be using "telephone" RJxx connection. My contractor just had to splice the wire to make the connection.

The constant on/constant off switch will work to switch the pump on and off manually. It will run continuously until the switch is turned off. Connect the wire that activates the float switch directly to the battery so it will come on automatically when water level in the bilge reaches the float.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. This float switch is designed to start the pump when water level gets too high and shuts off the pump when the level gets below the bottom float when installed in the upright position. I don't know the size or location of your pond but if outside and wind is a factor, you may have to install the float switch in a stilling well.

Yes but it has temp control to turn on & off at 40 or higher if you wish. I have left it unattended in my pump house all winter.
