Float Switches for Water Pumps - All Types

Various float switches for all pumps, including submersible and those using a pump controller.

Unless noted, all float switches are rated for both AC and DC. Pictures are typical types, appearance may vary.

Float switches come in two main types, Normally Open (N/O) and Normally Closed (N/C). "Normally" is the DOWN position. Most pumps with a pump controller can use either type, just depending on which terminals it is wired to.

If you are using direct control - where the float switch is in line with the power to the pump, and you want it to shut OFF the pump when the float switch is UP, then you want a "Pump Up".

Pump Up & Pump Down:

"Pump Down" means that the contacts will close when the float is UP, turning on the power or energizing the control circuit.

"Pump Up" means the the contacts will close when the float is DOWN.

Pictures of the float switches in this section are generic, actual product will probably look different. But it will still work. Honest.
