270 Installing Hydro Check HC6000v2 Sump Pump Switch

A couple of weeks ago we returned home to find the basement flooded with about 2" of water. Good thing everything was up on pallets because this was not the first we'd had water in the basement. I needed a better method of water control in the basement. We've had a sump pump but the float switch was iffy... sometimes it would work and other times not! The not is what got us this time. So I did some research on sump pumps and eventually I learned that the sump pump itself was not the blame, it was the float switch causing the problems. So after a little research I settled on an electronic switch, the HydroCheck HC 6000 v2. It has low water shut off and high water turn on probes. After installation it performed well during the testing phase, now to wait for the next big rainstorm to know for sure it is working as advertised... Love ya all...

Is this standalone, no plug into the sump pump? How does it activate the pump? Thanks for your video!

Sump pump is plugged into this unit with high and low probes to regulate pump

Any update ?

About a week ago, we had some water come in and this switch performed great! I wish I'd purchased this a long time ago! Definitely recommended...

Hope this is my answer for tethered float switches I picked up hc8000t's and a hc7000v2 for 40 bucks each today going to try one tonight

The switch has performed flawlessly, I wish I'd have known about this sooner...

@@udgrin2 Did you have to run ground wire? I don't see it.

No ground needed on new unit
