Product Description
Master Pump Control with SJE Rhombus AmpMaster® Wide Angle Float Switch
SJE AmpMaster® 20 Amp wide-angle float switch is a mechanically-activated pump float switch designed for reliable control of sump, sewage, and wastewater pumps. It provides direct control of pumps up to 1-1/2 HP at 120V and 3 HP at 240V, making it a dependable solution for lift stations, septic systems, and high-head sewage applications.
This wide-angle pump float switch is not sensitive to rotation or turbulence, allowing consistent performance in both calm and turbulent conditions. Designed for pump-down operation, it activates as the liquid rises and shuts off as the levels drop. With a non-mercury mechanical design, UL/CSA certifications, and a five-year warranty, it delivers long-term reliability.

How This Wide Angle Pump Float Switch Works
This mechanically-activated float switch responds to movement of the float.
As liquid rises, the float tilts upward, activating internal contacts and turning the pump on. As levels drop, the float returns to resting position and turns the pump off.
The wide-angle design reduces frequent cycling and improves efficiency.
Best Applications
Sump pump systems
Sewage and wastewater systems
Lift stations
Septic systems
Grinder pump applications
This makes it an excellent sewage float switch and lift station solution.
