RFSN-9, 115-volt, Piggyback Tethered Float Switch, 15' Cord | Maximum 13-Amp, 1/2 HP, Pump down, For pond, sump, sewage or effluent systems, 599117

Little Giant RFSN-9 115-Volt, Maximum 13-Amp - 1/2 HP, Pump Down Piggyback Tethered Float Switch for Pond, Sump, Sewage or Effluent Systems, 15-Ft. Cord, Grey, 599117 Regular price $94.91 I'm an avid DIYer. Bought this float switch "Used-Very Good" three weeks ago for $32.83. Never been used! Had the original box been opened? Yes. Of course. But who cares? It works like a champ! Used it to replace my aerobic system lowest float switch, the one that fires up my Sta-Rite 1/2 hp 20 gpm sprinkler pump. Want to test it first before installing? Great idea. I tested mine for continuity THROUGH the piggyback plug, not lead-to-lead. (Check YouTube.) Then I cut off the piggyback plug and butt-spliced this new float switch with the existing wiring, using a wire connector crimper with butt splice head, plenty of assorted sizes of WATERPROOF heat shrink CLEAR tubing, an assortment box of butt splices, and wrapped it all up in 3M Super 33 electrical tape. (All these are, of course, available through Amazon.) (I actually had a double problem. My GFCI circuit breaker was bad, also, and I replaced it, also. Cheapest price was available at Amazon.) (I also took a course offered through the county Health Department which allows me to check my own septic system rather than hiring a septic service to come out every 4 months. I send in a report every 4 months and save about $300 a year.) Like I said. Works like a champ!

After replacing 2 cheaper switches over 3 years, I installed this one. This is a solid replacement switch with better materials and construction than most of the other cheap switches out there. Only slightly more expensive, you get quality and value for what you pay. Easy to install. Very dependable silent operation. Ejector pump operates flawlessly now.

Worked perfectly for our septic!

Very affordable, easy to use, and easy to test.

Been working well for a few months now. Wish I could control the angle at which is turns on and off for finer control, but I guess none of them of this style do that.

My last float lasted 30 years in a basement sump pump that worked hard every time it rained. I live at the base of a hill and I get all the rain from the sidewalk and my neighbor's homes situated above me. This product has been beyond reliable and was still working but not at the proficiency I had come to expect, And after 30 years I believe it was getting a little tired. Time for an upgrade. Thanks for your service. And thanks for a great and reliable product.

I replaced an older float switch that had come pre-installed on my grinder pump. I used this Little Giant float switch, in conjunction with the SJE Rhombus 1002230 Cable Weight, to install a new system. It's extremely reliable, easy to install, and works as designed. To be clear, it was "easy to install" after I finally managed to get the old switch out of the tank 2+ hours later. :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this pump float switch. It works as advertised, but there are two things to keep in mind: (1) It is a mechanical switch and (2) the mechanical switch means that the float must travel to a fairly high position before the switch is activated. Minimum depth of water to activate the float is around 9", and this means the minimum depth to deactivate approximately 2". Put another way, the lowest water mark you can achieve in order to activate the pump is approximately 9", and 2" to deactivate it. If you need the water level lower than 2", or the maximum water level must be below 9", then this float will not work.

It works! Easy installation.

Installed in a sump pit, and no issues.

Je suis très satisfait du produit chez Rona ou Reno ils n’en vendent pas de cette qualité là excellent produit merci

After wasting time with two of the same crap brand switch that failed and flooded our basement, we got this one and it works great. The install instructions are clear, the plastic housing is more buoyant than most and floats easily, the trip angles are ~+45deg turn on and ~-45 deg turn off as advertised, and the cable is nice and soft, allowing the switch to float and trigger properly. Get this. It's a well known brand and for the small premium over a crap brand, it's well worth it to prevent a flooded basement.
