/EINPresswire.com/ -- WHEATON, IL--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2016) - LevelGuard Fluid Control Products, an established brand of TouchSensor Technologies, a division of Methode Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: MEI), a global developer of custom engineered and application specific products and solutions, announced that its Electronic Sump Pump Switch recently passed the 3,500,000 cycle milestone without failure in a laboratory reliability test. This laboratory test, which is available to watch in real-time online, has been ongoing since June 2014 and has already outlasted one sump pump.

"This latest LevelGuard milestone once again demonstrates the reliability and durability inherent in every LevelGuard Sump and Sewage switch," stated Jay Orellana, business development manager for LevelGuard. "The tens of thousands of LevelGuard units installed in homes across North America are helping homeowners keep their basements and belongings dry. The hundreds of on-line customer reviews demonstrate LevelGuard is living up to its promise of being The First Switch That Will Outlast The Pump™."

LevelGuard Electronic Pump Switches were designed to provide a better solution than the current float switch technology for pump OEMS and homeowners who need to eliminate pump switch failure. Recognized by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), LevelGuard's proprietary solid-state design for fluid detection and pump switching will work for millions of cycles under normal sump pit conditions.

Four distinct LevelGuard Pump Switches are currently available, including a sewage model, with 9-foot and 15-foot cords that use piggy-back plugs, as well as a 30-foot pigtail cord. LevelGuard carries a warranty of five years against manufacturer's defects.
