Description
12v FL40 Front End Switch
Automatic Pressure Control for 40 PSI Diaphragm Pumps
Keep your diaphragm pump operating automatically with the FL40 Control Switch, a practical replacement pressure switch designed for compatible 40 PSI diaphragm water pumps.
This compact switch controls the pump's power according to water pressure, allowing the pump to start and stop automatically as you open and close a tap or valve.
When you open a tap, the pressure in the water system drops and the switch allows the pump to start. Once the tap is closed and the system reaches the required shut-off pressure, the switch automatically stops the pump.
It's a convenient solution for maintaining automatic water delivery without having to manually switch your pump on and off.

How Does the FL40 Control Switch Work?
The FL40 Pressure Control Switch responds to changes in pressure within your water system.
-
Open a Tap or Valve: Water pressure drops as water begins to flow.
-
Pump Starts: The pressure switch activates the connected diaphragm pump.
-
Close the Tap: Pressure builds up in the system.
-
Pump Stops: Once the required shut-off pressure is reached, the switch automatically cuts power to the pump.
This makes it a useful component for diaphragm pump systems where automatic operation is needed.
