Where To Buy

Features And Benefits

The BWC1 features a caged, microreed Dual Float Switch. It has proven reliable in the pump industry and improves basement protection by including two floats.
Best Way to Activate a Pump

The BWC1 features a caged, microreed Dual Float Switch. We introduced this technology, proven reliable in other uses for over 50 years, to the pump industry and improved it by including two floats.

If One Float Is Good, Two Are Better

The Basement Watchdog Universal Dual Float Switch (BWC1) includes two floats for added protection; the second float is a fail-safe that will activate your sump pump if needed.

Caged Design Protects the Floats

The Basement Watchdog Universal Dual Float Switch has a protective cage to keep debris and wires from interfering with movement of the float. It has a curved and vented bottom that self-washes to prevent buildup, and the solid top protects the floats.

Works with Most Brands

If the switch fails on your existing sump pump of a different brand, replace it with the most reliable switch available. Remove your faulty switch and install The Basement Watchdog Universal Dual Float Switch (BWC1).

DIY Installation

The Watchdog Universal Dual Float Switch (BWC1) installs easily with just a few twists of a screwdriver using the included stainless-steel hose clamp. The switch fits on both 1½-inch and 1¼-inch pipes.

Adjustable Activation Point

The BWC1 is adjustable to any height, so you can customize it to fit your pit. Since The Basement Watchdog Universal Dual Float Switch is not mounted to the pump, simply place the switch at your desired turn-on height and tighten the included hose clamp to the discharge pipe.
