[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3941087, member: 7248"] I finally had to replace my pump that was about 19 years old. I also replaced the primary float switch. I know the alarm float switch is working. I’m just not sure if the secondary/override float switch is working. I talked to the buddy that pumps my tank occasionally and he recommended the replacement pump brand to use. What I would like to know is the logic used to turn the pump on. The pump is operated through a control panel and uses 2 float switches. The control panel has a timer with switches for the preferred time to run the pump. The thing I’m not sure about is the override float switch and if it’s operating. I would like to test it. I guess in need to get my volt meter and test continuity with someone moving the float. I’m just wondering if there is a better way to test and make sure my logic is right. I think that override float switch should turn the pump on no matter where the timer is. So it should operate outside the predetermined time to run the pump.[ATTACH type="full" alt="524C7FA5-9B97-4461-B4DC-793E7F0381EE.jpeg"]336698[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="934114F4-F975-4BC3-91DA-84E12AA8516C.jpeg"]336699[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="75669181-F861-4EA6-A99A-EABBF87D9BD4.jpeg"]336700[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
