Why it matters
The Briidea controller uses two 304 stainless steel sensors you position to set the on and off levels, anywhere from 1/2 in to 20 ft apart. With no moving parts in the pit, there's no float to jam.
A button lets you run the pump manually, and it sounds an alarm when the pump isn't working correctly. It suits sump and utility pumps under 1 HP.
