Very easy to change and my pump is up and running ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simple to install *by I***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2022* I only have praise for this type of pump sensor switch. Last one lasted 10+ years, despite the fact that I always left it and the pump outside. The float type sensors are ok if you have a large enough sized underground water collector. If you do not, expect the float to get stuck part way up and never turn on the pump. You know how that ends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine - got me thru Hurricane Sandy! *by 3***J on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2012* I found that the original switch on my sump pump was not switching off so I needed to make a call to replace the switch or replace the entire unit. My basement flooded during Irene - so I knew I was in danger of that happening again and didn't want to take any chances. I replace the switch, tested it and all has been well - but I did get a generator and spare battery for the backup pump as in a power outage it doesn't matter if the pump is working when you have no power ... and then Sandy hit. Boy was I glad. The switch, and the pump, worked flawlessly all thru the rain and the snowmelt from the following storm.This was much cheaper than a new pump. Very easy to fit (2 screws) and could actually be used to operate dual-pumps if you had that setup to handle very large volumes, or wanted the redundancy. Be aware that it needs a decent head of water before it activates - I needed to pour 15-20 gallons into the sump before it triggered - seems to need 8-10 inches of head. This is actually a good thing - pumps have a longer life if they have a longer cycle time - better to run for 30 seconds an hour than 10 seconds 3 times an hour. Just don't think it's not working if you have a foot of water in your sump and it's still not on - the footer and mounting will take 4-5 inches. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6581407-rs-5-115-volt-piggyback-diaphragm-pump-down-switch-sump](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6581407-rs-5-115-volt-piggyback-diaphragm-pump-down-switch-sump) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
