Transform the way you service your HVAC customers! Quicker installation time with our groundbreaking water probe! Receive timely notifications by text and email! Customer service and retention at its core. The AC SpeedStick is a UL rated water switch commonly used in HVAC equipment. The AC Speedstick water switch shuts down the air handler when water level rises in the air handler drain pan. Water Probe – our unique water probe affixes in either of the condensation outlets on the back of the air handler. No need to remove air handler cowling for installation, dramatically reducing installation time. The water probe will trip the switch if water is detected for 10 seconds. The switch will resume normal operation when water is not detected for 10 seconds. The water probe also has 4’ lead to fit up to 3-ton air handlers. WIFI feature – During installation, the installer can utilize the optional Wi-Fi feature if Wi-Fi is available. With the WIFI feature enabled, if the switch is tripped, it will automatically notify the installer, and any desired parties. The AC Speedstick app is necessary for connecting the switch to the Wi-Fi. Wiring – the 4 wires in and out of the switch match most OEMs (black, red, green, white). Simple wiring means easier wiring. LED indicators – the green/red LED light indicates system is tripped or system is working. The blue LED light will flash during Wi-Fi connection and become solid blue when connected. Voltage – switch is rated for 120V or 240V
