The Jabsco 30294-2000 is a genuine Jabsco float switch guard for Jabsco pumps and float switches that list this part. It protects the float from debris and from objects in the bilge that could jam it. It seals a joint in the pump so the pumping chamber stays airtight and liquid stays inside, which is essential for self-priming and full flow.
A float that is jammed by debris or a loose item can keep the pump from starting in rising water, or keep it running until it burns out. The guard keeps the float free to move so the automatic switch works when needed.
