The Robertshaw® 8000 Series Single Level Pressure Switches will
replace several models of Robertshaw switches used on sump pumps
and other similar appliances. A typical application on a sump pump unit
is shown at right. The switch operates as an automatic control device
which turns the pump motor on when the water level rises and turns it
off when the level falls.
