"LevelGuard is proving its value to plumbing contractors and homeowners who need to eliminate sump pump switch failure," stated Jay Orellana, business development manager for LevelGuard. "For property owners faced with water continually seeping into their basements, LevelGuard pays off quickly when compared to the typical mechanical float switch which typically fails after only 250,000 cycles. The LevelGuard is built to last, and we believe LevelGuard will surpass 2 million cycles early next year."
LevelGuard, which utilizes Field-Effect sensor technology, was designed to surpass 1.5 million cycles and provide a better solution than the current float switch technology for pump OEMs' and homeowners. Mechanical float switches are the number one cause of failure in sump pump systems, and the 1,500,000 cycle milestone is further evidence that LevelGuard can dramatically improve the reliability of the system by employing a solid-state design.
Four LevelGuard SKUs are 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. The LevelGuard sump pump switch utilizes TouchSensor's patented Field-Effect sensing technology to detect water at two upper level and one lower level switch points. Both LevelGuard and its patented Field-Effect sensing technology are Underwriters Laboratories listed. LevelGuard carries a warranty of five years against manufacturer's defects.
