Zoeller M57 Pump Question

[smaerd58]

I have a 3 yr old Zoeller M57 Pump and it stays running. I can install a new switch if I can find a good price. But my question is can I turn this into a Non Automatic and install a Piggy-Back? Reason being we have so much ground water now that it cycles like crazy and I would like to have a tether float mounted higher for less discharges and less ware and tear. Zoeller says can't be done! I thought I could ditch the old switch and float and buy a cap for a N model with no switch hole. Has anyone ever attempted this and how did it work out?Thanks,Rick

Open the cap and bypass the switch then add the float switch to the cord plug. or buy a switch and hang the pump higher with a chain. I think Ira Woods has the switch cheap. They will sell you the whole pump for about 139$

Tie the existing switch lever UP so that it is always on, then install the new piggyback switch.
I did this some time ago, upgrading to an SJE Rhombus switch.
