Pump issue

[jambo]

This is probably staring me in the face but I need a nudge!!
My pump has float switch wired direct to battery and thru normal system. When you leave on the off position the direct fails to operate switch the battery to no 2 the direct does not work but when you press the pump switch it works!! Any ideas?

Can you not do a continuity test on the switch - will prove if its your issue?

Hi BB. Thanks for your thoughts but it’s not the wiring it’s definitely the switch. New one in tomorrow.

Well folks. It was what we all thought knackered float switch.
Cheers for your replies.

Are you going to replace the float switch or go for an integrated pump?

This might start a debate about the pro's and con's of each but I'm interested.
