SEAFLO 02-Series Bilge Pump Float Switch for 12V, 24V, 32V

Don't buy the reed switches, they don't last. In addition, the reed switches fail with the circuit CLOSED. That burnt out 3 of my bilge pumps before I realized why the pumps failed. I run my bilge pump/float switch directly connected to a 100 watt solar panel (no battery). When the cheap reed switches fail they run the pump continuously until it overheats and dies—because all the water has been evacuated long ago. Since I bought one of these more expensive steel roller ball switches I've had no bilge pump failures every month or two. My pumps run all day off and on and those cheap reed switches can't take it.

It goes up and down, turns on and shuts off my bilge pump. Taking a guy out to hunt a shark. Might need a bigger boat.

Works great and is significantly cheaper than the last one on my boat.

Perfect fit in my boat. Works as advertised.👌

Actually use this to monitor water level in a 32 gallon can. RV pump shuts off when tank empties. Works as advertised.

I've had two of these and the first one lasted about a year before it filled with water and ruined the microswitch inside. I bought another in December '23 and now 6 months later it has failed too. I drilled a small hole in the top and drained the water. My sump pit is only 4" deep and dry most months of the year so a very light duty situation. Really horrible performance and will never try one of these again.

Works great

After first use went out to check on it heard pump running but no water coming out who knows for how long. Checked float and it was down in normal position guess the ball was stuck in on position I moved it up and down a few times and it finally cut off. But I'm pretty sure the ball was down and it was still running.

parfait remplacement pour ma pompe de puisard à batterie. Beaucoup plus précis et plus facile à positionner dans un endroit restreint que mon ancienne flotte à gravité (tethered float). Mécanisme plus fiable.

Garbage sticks on and some more times doesn't come on at all..

New out of the package, the marine repair shop installed this switch and found it left my pump in a ‘constant on’ state whether the float arm is up or down. The seller sent a replacement switch but a simple continuity test with a multimeter (look it up, seller!) showed it too had the same flaw. Both units were sent back to the seller with a plea for better testing at the factory.

Would not purchase again .not trustworthy
