My footing is in a water table so I am constantly pumping out water from the sump. In order to increase the reliabilty of the pump(switch) and to get the largest amount of water pumped on each cycle, I got the Wayne AU5ES electronic pump switch and then disabled the float switch on the pump. I am not an employee or shareholder of Wayne pumps but I want to mention that the switch works great, and I wish such switches were more common.
Anway, after I disabled the switch on my sump I plugged it into this switch and then just set the water level by taping the blue lead to the pipe. The amount of time it pumps is set on the switch itself (you do that by trial, determining how long takes to take the water down to the bottom of the pit). There is also a red lead included for a high water alarm.
