LevelGuard Pump Switch Passes 3.5 Million Cycles in Test
Engineering360 News Desk | December 13, 2016LevelGuard Fluid Control Products says that its electronic sump pump switch recently passed the 3,500,000 cycle milestone without failure in a laboratory reliability test.
Rated for up to 1/2 horsepower sump pump applications.This test, which is available to watch in real-time online, has been ongoing since June 2014 and has already outlasted one sump pump.
The company says that the LevelGuard Electronic Pump Switches were designed to provide a better solution than the current float switch technology for pump OEMS who need to eliminate pump switch failure.
Four LevelGuard Pump Switches are currently available, including a sewage model, with 9-foot and 15-foot cords that use piggy-back plugs, as well as a 30-foot pigtail cord. LevelGuard carries a warranty of five years against manufacturer's defects.
What the world really needs is a differential reasonably clear, low to mid-viscosity liquid pressure switch that will perform similarly over a user-selectable range of 10-1000 kPa, and cost less than $50. OK, I will go as high as $75, if it will handle seawater at a temperature range of 0-100 degrees C.
