Why Australian buyers choose ELEHPD
- Factory-direct pricing for distributors, OEMs, panel builders and irrigation / plumbing wholesalers — no local middle layer.
- IP68 sealed body for permanent immersion in water and wastewater; operating range 0–70 °C.
- Australian voltages covered — rated 10 A at 250 V AC (some models to 4 A / up to 380 V AC), switching the contactor coil on 240 V single-phase and 415 V three-phase systems.
- OEM / ODM & private label — custom colours, markings and packaging so Australian brands can badge the range under their own name.
- Short lead times & English documentation — datasheets, wiring diagrams and declarations supplied in English; spares shipped factory-direct.
- CE & RoHS, ISO 9001 quality system — consistent batch traceability for specifiers and councils.
Note: float switches are control components. For potable-water or mains-connected plumbing installations, the installer or specifier should confirm local certification requirements (e.g. WaterMark under AS/NZS 4020) for the complete assembly.
Recommended products for Australian systems
Field-proven level switches — each available in several cable lengths (2 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 m; custom on request).
- UKY & CX-M15 cable float switches — the standard 3-core (black / blue / brown) float for rainwater tanks, bores and sumps; one float does pump-up and pump-down.
- UK61 magnetic float controller — narrow wells and tight pits where a swinging float will not fit.
- UK71 & GSK dry-reed level controllers — multi-point level control for tanks and chambers.
- CX-70AB / CX-80AB flow switches — water flow monitoring and no-flow protection.
Frequently asked questions
Do your float switches work on Australian 240 V / 415 V supplies?
Yes. Our cable float switches are rated 10 A at 250 V AC (some models to 4 A / up to 380 V AC), which covers standard Australian single-phase 240 V and is compatible with 415 V three-phase control circuits through a contactor. The float switches the contactor coil, not the pump motor directly.
Are ELEHPD float switches certified for Australian plumbing (WaterMark)?
The float switch is a control component. Our standard models are CE and RoHS certified under an ISO 9001 quality system and rated IP68 for permanent immersion. For potable-water or mains-connected plumbing installations, the specifier or installer should confirm local certification requirements (e.g. WaterMark under AS/NZS 4020) for the complete assembly.
Which float switch is best for a rainwater tank or bore pump?
A 3-core cable float (UKY or CX-M15) is the standard choice for rainwater tank pump-up (top-up) and bore/transfer pump control. One float serves both pump-up and pump-down duty by reversing two wires, so the same switch works for filling a tank or draining a pit.
Can you supply septic and AWTS level control?
Yes. IP68 cable floats and magnetic/dry-reed level controllers are suited to septic tanks, aerated wastewater treatment systems (AWTS), greywater and pump-out chambers. For narrow wells or tight pits, the magnetic (UK61) or dry-reed (UK71) controllers are a better fit.
Do you offer an Australian distributor or OEM program?
Yes. ELEHPD supplies distributors, OEMs, panel builders and irrigation/plumbing wholesalers across Australia with factory-direct pricing, OEM/ODM private-label options, custom cable lengths and English datasheets. Email [email protected] to discuss a distribution agreement.
