Consult Factory for Special Applications:

Variable level float switches
Variable level long cycle systems
Special cord lengths of 15’, 25’ or 35’ (5 m, 8 m or 11 m). 50' (15 m) cord lengths available for 230 V units only.
Alarm systems
Duplex systems
Variable level control systems.

Notes
The sizing of effluent systems normally requires variable level float(s) controls and properly sized basins to achieve required pumping cycles or dosing timers with non automatic pumps.

Reserve Powered Design.
For unusual conditions a reserve safety factor is engineered into the design of every Zoeller pump.
