Smart Switches and Pump Controllers
One of the most common failures of a sump pump system is a SWITCH failure. Too often, we find that a pump would have worked fine, but the switch never activated it. Just as bad is a switch that gets stuck ON, causing the pump to run dry and burn out. Switches are important enough that we felt they deserved their very own section!All of our pumps (primary and backup) come standard with dual float switches, so if one float fails, the second one automatically takes over - we think that's absolutely critical protection. However, our BEST pump switches do a lot more than just turn the pump on & off: they MONITOR the system and ALARM when there is a problem. They even exercise the pump automatically, to help it last longer!
We use PHCC Pro Series switches and, state-of-the-art pump controls from Ion Technologies in our experience theses companies provide the best combination of reliability and innovative features. These manufacturers are committed to constantly improving their products, so they offer the best protection possible for your home/business and what you own.
The Deluxe Controller & Dual Float Switch (standard with S3, S5 & Weil primary pumps) is our most popular switch, and the one we recommend for most installations. Our owner Dave uses a DFC2 for his primary pump, and he sleeps well at night knowing he's protected. In fact, Dave likes it so much, we automatically upgrade the factory-supplied switch on every C33 Combo system to the DFC2!
The Ion Endeavor Ion Endeavor Smart Controller and Sensors is a First of a kind 115 or 230 volt standard plug in receptacle, dual pump run and alternating controller for residential and commercial applications.. Track critical information through the panel based display, including switch failure; pump amp draw, water level and more
The combination of an Ion Technologies pump and a battery backup system provides the most reliable means of keeping water out of the basement and threats of stormwaters.
