Why it matters
The 2359 uses a Honeywell microswitch rated up to 13 A or 1/2 HP, higher than many universal floats. The float is IP68-rated polypropylene and works from 32 to 140 F.
A 10 ft PVC-jacketed cable lets you set the tether length, and it carries a five-year warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Pumps up to 1/2 HP
- Septic and tank control

Look elsewhere if

Pros and cons
Pros
- 13 A rating

Cons

Limitations to weigh
- Check the switch's amp and horsepower rating against your pump's nameplate before plugging it in.
- Check your pit diameter against the switch: vertical floats fit narrow pits, tethered floats need room to swing.
