Float Switch

Enviroconcept Float Switch

Overview
Enviroconcept's float switch is a rugged, reliable liquid-level sensor designed to automate pump controls, valve activation, and overflow protection in wastewater treatment and wash bay systems. Ideal for integration with skids, clarifiers, oil/water separators, dosing units, sump pits, and portable wash pad setups galleon.

Key Features

• Automatic level sensing – Detects rising or falling liquid levels to start/stop pumps or trigger alarms, enhancing safety and compliance.
• Heavy-duty construction – Built to tough industrial standards, designed for longevity in corrosive or dirty water environments.
• Versatile mounting options – Compact design fits in sumps, pits, clarifier sludge wells, or OWS units without modifications.
• Customizable cable length – Flexible lead lengths accommodate various installation depths and layouts.

Applications

• Oil-water separators & clarifiers – Manages sludge removal or overflow protection in OWS systems .
• Wash bays & sumps – Controls pumps in automated wash bay pits, protecting equipment from dry-run or overflow conditions.
• Dosing & chemical systems – Regulates water levels in tanks tied to pH/chemical dosing units.
• Portable wash pads & skids – Suitable for Enviroconcept's modular wash infrastructure requiring level-control sensors.

Technical Specifications

• (These can be confirmed with Enviroconcept—they aren't listed online, but typical specs include:)
• Electrical rating: 220 VAC, up to 4 A
• IP rating: IP65, suitable for outdoor/wet conditions
• Cable: 5–10 m PVC as standard; neoprene or custom lengths available
