As the water level drops the contacts separate cutting the electricity. You set the float to activate by the length of the cord to water level. **Q: does anyone know what I can use to send me an alarm when the switch is closed?** A: Thank you for your interest in Little Giant products. I think what you are looking for is our High Water Alarm.
