For a variety of reasons, this is on the way to me because the float switch integral to the ABS Robusta 1/2hp pump in the sump pit has finally failed after 72 hours of intermittent error. You should know that the ABS Robusta was installed NEW in Feb 2008.
I chose this product because after taught myself more about sump pump issues than my plumber seems to know, i figured out that the float travel on the ABS Robusta was far too small, requiring the pump to run on and off, essentially pumping against the temporarily high water table due to run-off, etc. So, failure was inevitable. I just wish I understood this before the rain/run-off became an issue. Hopefully, I can put this in to replace the now broken switch and increase the allowable amount of H2O in the pit so the pump doesn't over-cycle and have a substantive failure of the motor itself.
Does anyone have any experience or anecdotes with the HydroCheck HiLo switch product?
Or, is there another product I should look at?
