    remember to service(clean) the built-in switch float. They invariably get jammed over time. Grunge, dirt, etc. will create a clog.

    Glad to find that the auto model, we make it, but the non-auto is not by us, I think you had test it, big current ,the life of motor maybe 200hours.

    Doesn’t this mean that when your switch is on you will have two powers going to the pump at the same time, your automatic and your switch power? Won’t that damage your pump?

    Do I have to have all 3 wires connected? Could I use hardwire it to use the auto float switch and tape up the manual wire, disregard it and leave it unconnected?

    yes u can do that. just test via the round knob that its working and remember to put a fuse at the battery for the auto wire, 7 amp should be fine.
