Little Giant Low Water Shut Off Switch RS-5
Protect your submersible pond pump with the Little Giant Low Water Shut Off Switch RS-5. This essential accessory automatically detects low water levels, preventing costly dry-running damage to your pump. It conveniently plugs in between your outlet and pump, activating the pump when water levels rise (6"-9") and shutting it off when they drop too low (1"-4"). The switch can also be manually lifted for easy pump shut-off during skimmer maintenance. Designed for 110-volt pumps up to 1/3 horsepower, it offers reliable operation and peace of mind for your pond.

What customers say
Customers appreciate the Little Giant RS 5 for its straightforward installation and essential protective function. The plug and play design makes setup incredibly easy, often taking just minutes. However, the core sentiment revolves around reliability. While many users report flawless operation for extended periods, a significant minority express concern over the longevity of the float mechanism, sometimes experiencing premature failure. When the switch works, it provides excellent peace of mind, but inconsistent lifespan affects the overall trust in this critical safety component.
