Hi, looking for a bilge pump float, auto on. Manual bilge pump on. And off for both. Which switch will work? Thanks

I'm using the switch as an on/off/auto for a electric car fan. It is double pole/double throw, so you can do two of something (fans, pumps, whatever) if you want. So it would be off/off, on/on, or auto/auto. If i understand you correctly you want to run the pump normally controlled from of a sensor "auto", then force "off" even if the sensor says to turn it on, and then also force "on" if the sensor says no. If that is the case then YES this switch will work. The switch completes the circuit in two positions, and is "open" in another position.

I would not know, but an automatic pump is just not to use a switch. I suggest you use a hand pump with a normal switch.Luis

The switch is not vessel specific - it should work on your Bayliner but you will have to install it and get the wiring right for your particular bilge pump, manual switch (if installed), etc. see my review about installation in a Sea Ray 370 (works perfectly).

The pump has a float switch on it- mine is inside a housing (I use it as a laundry/wastewater pump) but I'm pretty sure it triggers with the water an inch or so above the bottom of the pump housing. Little Giant is based in Oklahoma and has excellent customer service- if you call or email them, they will give you a direct answer.

The switch assembly from the old pump is replaced by this new one .. Its an easy install (getting the old one off was a little tough), but its just the switch itself, and not a motor or a pump. I had determined that the pressure switch on my Sureflo had failed but that the pump and motor were still working. Replaced the pressure switch, and Walla ! .... Works like a charm.

Greetings, The switch is NO (normally open). When it floats, the switch closes. You need to find a float that is normally closed, to power the pump until the float floats, at which tme the switch will open and stop the pump. Best from Dan.

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.

No, this is not an automatic pump. It requires manual and or float switching to opetate correctly.

you need a timer to turn the pump on and off for automatic or you will have to manually turn it on and off... I choose to have it on auto this is the timer the tech support guy at Hayward recommended for me and works great. Intermatic T104 208-277-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch

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.

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

Previous comment is right on -- this is for dedicated pump on/off switching.

Yes it is a bilge pump for a boat but it needs a float switch and and a three way switch that will let you turn it off, turn it on, and be used automatically as water comes into the boat.

No it is not automatic .I find these pumps better than any other makes and cheaper.I use these for my live bait tanks.

Yes ,but I put a switch (single pole double throw) one position is automatic (off and on with the float switch) And the other to run direct all the time It is VERY important to put a 10 amp fuse on the red wire If there is a short it will save the pump motor ,and other elect equipment My son uses the boat and he likes the auto position the best BTW it is a great pump for the price

It's a switch that floats. When water level rises to a point it turns the pump on. When level drops the floating switch turns off the pump

The pump has no on / off switch. Bring a 6 'cable that plugs directly over the receptacle. I have it connected to a timer, it works perfect.

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.
