ROUBLESHOOTING

Switch Does Not Turn On Pump

1.  Test the pump without the Ion

a.  Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet, 

without plugging it into the switch plug.

b.  If pump still does not run, see the 

troubleshooting section in the pump 

manual.  

c.  If the pump does run, continue to the next 

step.

2.  Test the switch with the pump 

a.  Plug the pump into the Ion

®

 switch and 

plugging the Ion switch plug into the wall.

will not hear a clicking sound. 

c.  If the pump does not turn on, the switch will 

have to be replaced.  

d.  If the pump does turn on, continue to the 

next step. 

3.  Verify the range of the switch 

a.  The part number can be found on the 

switch cord tag.

 

 

i.

 

IN-006… = 6” range

 

ii.

 

IN-085... = 8.5” range

 

iii.

 

IN-010… = 10” range (for special 

 applications)

b.  For a pipe-mounted switch, see Page 2, 

Installation Drawing to verify that the On 

level is appropriate for your basin. 

i. Lower the switch on the pipe so the 

On level is at a point within the basin, 

insuring that the Off level does not fall 

below the minimum level shown in the 

Installation Drawing. 

ii. If the On level is still too high, the switch 

will have to be replaced with a lower 

range Ion

 switch. 

c.  For a pump-mounted switch, see Page 

2, Figure D to verify that the On level is 

appropriate for your basin.
