Have your pump make and model available and our team can help identify the correct voltage, amperage, monitoring option, and panel configuration for your application. We do the work so you don't have to.
This simplex sewage and wastewater pump control panel uses float switches to start and stop a single pump, provides high water alarm protection, and includes optional remote monitoring. It is engineered to match your pump's electrical specifications for proper operation and long-term reliability. Use the options above to configure it for your application.

✔ Thermal Overload Protection (Standard)
✔ Hand / Off / Auto Toggle Switch
✔ Pump Run Indicator Light
✔ Three SludgeBoss® Float Switches (20 Ft each)
✔ Installation Documentation
✔ 5-Year Warranty
How This Panel Controls Your Pump
Three dedicated float switches manage pump operation and alarm notification. When the water level rises to the pump run float, the pump activates. When the level falls to the pump stop float, the pump shuts off. If water continues to rise above normal operating levels, the high water float triggers the 95dB alarm horn and beacon light.
This three-float configuration provides precise level control and reliable high water notification for sewage basins, lift stations, and wastewater systems.
How to Configure This Panel
This panel has five configuration decisions. Work through each one in order and your panel will be built to your pump's exact specifications.
Step 1: Notification Method
Every panel includes a local audible horn and visual alarm light. The options below determine whether you also receive remote notifications when you are away from the property.
Local Alarm Only
The panel sounds a 95dB alarm and activates the beacon light when a high water condition occurs. Someone on the property needs to hear it and respond.
Best for occupied facilities and applications where someone is reliably on site.
WiFi Monitoring
Sends email notifications when alarm conditions occur. Email alerts are free for the life of the device for up to 5 recipients. Voice and text message notifications are available for $19.99 per year. The panel also sends a combined notification if internet service or power is interrupted.
Best for property managers, service providers monitoring customer systems, and any facility with a reliable internet connection.
WiFi + Cellular Monitoring: Our Most Comprehensive Option
Receive alerts through WiFi or cellular communication, even when internet service is unavailable or unreliable. The panel can be configured to operate exclusively on cellular, exclusively on WiFi, or on WiFi with cellular as automatic backup. Email notifications are free with unlimited recipients. Voice, text, and mobile app notifications are included with a $70.99 per year monitoring subscription.
Built-in supercapacitor backup power provides approximately 15 minutes of power after AC power is interrupted. This allows the panel to send a distinct power-loss notification immediately when your electricity goes out, before any other part of your system has a chance to fail.
Best for remote lift stations, unattended wastewater facilities, seasonal properties, and any application where losing internet connectivity should not mean losing your alarm.
Step 2: Electrical Compatibility
This panel operates on 120V or 240V Single-Phase power, compatible with most residential and commercial pump installations. No selection is required for this step — it is confirmed for your reference.
Step 3: Full Load Amperage (FLA)
The panel's protection components must be matched to your pump's full load amperage. Selecting the wrong FLA range can result in nuisance tripping or inadequate protection.
6.3–10A — most residential sewage and wastewater pumps
10.1–14.9A — larger residential or light commercial pumps
15–25A — commercial or high-draw applications
You can find the FLA on the pump nameplate, the pump specification sheet, or the existing control panel documentation. If you are unsure, call (314) 787-8059 with your pump make and model and we will look it up for you.
Step 4: Capacitors
Some pumps require external start and run capacitors housed in the control panel. Others have capacitors built into the motor and do not require them in the panel.
No Capacitors — your pump has internal starting components
With Capacitors — your pump requires external start and run capacitors in the panel (standard: 238MFD start / 50MFD run)
Check your pump documentation or call us if you are unsure. Installing a panel without required capacitors will prevent the pump from starting.
Step 5: Pump Protection Level
Standard Protection — thermal overload and circuit breaker included as standard. This is the correct choice for most installations.
Add Seal Failure Sensor — adds a seal failure detection input (+$225). Includes thermal overload plus seal failure monitoring. The seal failure sensor detects water intrusion at the mechanical seal and triggers an alert before it reaches the motor windings — stopping a costly motor replacement before it starts.
Is This the Right Panel?
Choose this panel if:
✔ You have a single sewage or wastewater pump controlled by float switches
✔ You need the panel to start and stop the pump automatically
✔ You need high water alarm protection
✔ You want optional WiFi or cellular remote monitoring
✔ You are replacing an existing simplex sewage pump control panel
Do not choose this panel if:
✘ Your pump is controlled by a dosing timer or pump package (use a breaker-only panel instead)
✘ You have two pumps that need to alternate (use a duplex panel instead)
For timer-controlled applications, see our Sewage and Wastewater Pump Panels collection. For two-pump systems, see our Duplex Sewage and Wastewater Pump Panels.
Common Applications
This panel is commonly used in residential sewage systems, septic pump basins, municipal wastewater lift stations, commercial sewage systems, industrial effluent systems, pressure sewer systems, new pump system installations, and direct replacement for failed or aging simplex sewage pump control panels.

Why Sump Alarm
Traditional sewage pump control panels only alert someone close enough to hear the horn. Sump Alarm panels give you the ability to receive notifications remotely, so you know about a problem before it becomes an overflow or an emergency service call. Our panels are assembled in the USA, listed to UL 508A, and backed by a 5-year warranty.
