Matelec FSW-12517 9010 IP68 Submersible Float Switch for Wastewater

The Matelec FSW-12517 9010 is a high-buoyancy submersible float switch designed for reliable automatic level control of wastewater, sewage and stormwater pumps. Built with a robust ABS housing and smooth anti-adhesion surface, it minimises buildup of solids and grease while ensuring dependable operation in harsh environments such as pump pits, effluent tanks and drainage systems.

This float switch activates or deactivates a pump according to liquid level, preventing tank overflow or dry-running. Its versatile design allows installation for either pump start or stop functions depending on orientation, making it suitable for a wide range of wastewater management applications.

Rated IP68 for submersion up to 20 m, the unit features a durable neoprene rubber cable resistant to chemicals and abrasion. A sliding detent mechanism prevents wave-induced oscillation and false switching, ensuring accurate level control even in turbulent conditions. Designed for heavy-duty residential, commercial and industrial use, the Matelec 9010 delivers dependable long-term performance in demanding liquid handling environments.
