Why it matters

The 92005 is a tethered float on a 25 ft cord: the float swings up as water rises and switches the pump through a piggyback plug. The long cord reaches outlets well away from the pit without an extension.

Tethered floats need room to swing, so this suits wider basins and sewage pits rather than narrow sump liners.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Good fit if

  • Wide basins
  • Outlets far from the pit
  • Sewage and effluent pumps

Look elsewhere if

  • Narrow pits
  • Pits with pipes the float could catch on

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 25 ft cord
  • Piggyback plug
  • Adjustable range

Cons

  • Needs room to swing
  • Few specs on the listing
  • Can snag on pipes

Limitations to weigh

  • Check the switch's amp and horsepower rating against your pump's nameplate before plugging it in.
  • Piggyback switches plug into the outlet and the pump plugs into them; set the pump's own switch to manual or remove it, per the pump maker.
  • Check your pit diameter against the switch: vertical floats fit narrow pits, tethered floats need room to swing.
