The PumpFuse is a power monitor and pump protection controller that works with all types of sump pumps and utility pumps. Sometimes your float switch can get stuck and your sump pump runs continuously until it overheats. This leads to broken pumps and costly repairs. The PumpFuse detects loss of load and overloads conditions and turns your pump off before it gets damaged. It also alerts you via smartphone app. Detects loss of load: + Dry running + Defective float switch or switch being stuck in a sump pit + Pump air-locked Detects overloads: + Jammed or damaged impeller + Check valve stuck, closed, or installed incorrectly + Discharge pipe blocked + Bad bearings The user can also reset the fault manually or in auto mode the PumpFuse will turn on the pump after a user adjustable delay. How does it work? The PumpFuse monitors the current, voltage and power consumption of your sump pump and can detect motor overload and loss of load conditions and react to it. It uses machine learning to set the low and high trip points automatically. No need to guess the power trip values or adjust them manually.

It works as a smart outlet and can be controlled via mobile app. Main benefits: - Compatible with all sump pumps and utility pumps from 1⁄6 HP to 1 HP - No setup, no additional sensors or changes to your pump system required.
