The LevelGuard® Sewage Pump Switches are:
UL listed Sewage designation
Rated for up to 1/2 hp pump applications
Highly resistant to effluent solids and contaminants
Fabricated from rugged materials and components
Tested to over 1.5 million cycles without failure
Warranted for five years against manufacturer's defects
The new model features added software intelligence to protect property owners from external failure modes, such as contamination build-up and pump run-on, as well as provides 30 amp over-current electrical fuse protection for added safety. The new LevelGuard® (SKU Z24803PTZ) is available with a 15-foot cord that uses a piggy-back plug.
The LevelGuard® pump switch utilizes TouchSensor's patented Field-Effect sensor technology to detect water at two upper-level and one lower-level switch points. The unit is protected by a fully encapsulated housing and is easily mounted to the sump pit's ejector pipe. Both LevelGuard and the patented Field-Effect sensing technology are Underwriters Laboratories listed. Please visit to learn more.
