Float Switch Replacement
We replace faulty float switches to restore reliable pump operation and stop false alarms.
Pump Not Starting or Stopping Properly? Here's How We Fix It
A float switch tells your pump when to start and stop based on the liquid level in the chamber, so when it fails, the pump can run constantly, not start at all, or trigger alarms for no obvious reason. Debris, grease and general wear are the usual culprits.
Our engineers will check the float's movement and cabling to confirm what's wrong, then replace it with the correct type and position it properly. We'll test the pump's start and stop points afterwards to confirm everything's working as it should.
