Abstract

A float switch made from plastic and impervious to corrosion, with improvements over the prior art including a more responsive operation resulting from use of a wide float switch body and a closely fitting housing that allow rapid shut-off of condensate production after collection of only a very small amount of fluid, a small housing dimension for easy installation in the small areas used for air conditioning system air handlers, a removable bottom cap for easy debris removal as well as float switch body adjustment for changing conditions, a housing design that allows operation without air vent holes in the housing, and anti-rotation features that stabilize the level orientation of the float switch body needed for proper operation after installation. By its quick and reliable response, the switch promotes use and longevity of energy efficient air conditioners without concern for the increased condensate produced, protecting the environment and energy resources.
