Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the Horizontal Float Sensor Switch do?

A: This side-mount float sensor switch automatically detects the liquid level inside a tank, aquarium, pool, or reservoir. When the water level rises or falls to the set point, the reed tube triggers an on/off switching action that activates or deactivates a connected pump or valve — keeping your water system fully automated and stable.

Q: What materials is the float sensor switch made from?

A: It is constructed from food-grade polypropylene (PP) housing, a precision reed tube, and a silicone sealing gasket. The PP material is resistant to water, weak acids, and alkali corrosion, so it will not rust or contaminate the liquid — making it safe for aquariums, drinking water equipment, and food-grade applications.

Q: Is this float switch easy to install?

A: Yes. The compact horizontal, side-mount design allows it to be installed directly on the wall of your tank or reservoir. It mounts from the side so it takes up no interior space, and the silicone sealing gasket ensures a leak-proof fit. No special tools are required for most standard installations.

Q: What types of systems is this float sensor compatible with?

A: This float sensor switch is compatible with a wide range of systems including aquariums, fish tanks, sump pumps, water dispensers, irrigation systems, pools, and general liquid storage tanks. It works with any setup requiring automatic water level monitoring and pump or valve control.
