Sta-Rite PS17-66 Vertical Float Switch
The Sta-Rite PS17-66 is a replacement vertical float switch, used to turn a pump on or off automatically based on water level in a sump, tank, or well.
A float switch that has become stuck, cracked, or waterlogged will either fail to start the pump when water rises or fail to shut it off, risking a dry-run or an overflow. Test the switch by hand before assuming it is the pump itself that has failed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I test if the float switch has failed?
Lift and lower the float by hand while listening or watching for the pump to switch on and off; if it does not respond, the switch itself is likely the problem.
Q: What happens if this switch fails while I am away?
Depending on how it failed, the pump may run dry against a switch stuck open, or the sump or tank may overflow if it is stuck closed and never calls for the pump.
Q: Can I adjust the on/off water levels on this switch?
A vertical float switch like this typically has a fixed or limited adjustment range set by the float travel; check the installation position if the on/off points need to change.
