The HC5000 Sewage Pump Controller is designed to replace mechanical float switches and pressure switches used in sewage pits. The unique design of the HC5000 allows you to install it without having to open the sewage pit or take out the failed mechanical switch. The HC5000 controller uses our patented "Pump Sense" technoligy to calculate the precise run time for your pump to get the best performance from it. And the controllers built in alarms will alert you if there is a problem with the pump or the discharge plumbing. The HC5000 is the only controller available anywhere that is this simple to install, has this many features, and far exceeds all other switches in reliablity and performance.
