The problem with PVC in your float switches

Do you use PVC-blended cables in your float switches? Most traditional floats rely on PVC to meet fire safety regulations, which sounds good, right?

For industry professionals, the limits of traditional float switches are well known. Frequent failures due to stiffening and cracking cables lead to costly maintenance cycles, wasted labor, and unnecessary downtime. Opti-Float changes the equation with a design that eliminates common failure points and extends operational life.

Built for Longevity

Unlike traditional floats that rely on PVC-blended cables prone to degradation in harsh environments, Opti-Float uses 100% polyurethane. Does this mean Opti-Float does not follow safety regulations? No, polyurethane is inherently safe, meaning it’s designed to eliminate or significantly reduce hazards at their source, rather than relying on external safety systems or procedures to manage risks

This material choice ensures superior durability without compromising flexibility, preventing the stiffening that leads to premature failures. By removing copper wiring from the equation, Opti-Float eliminates internal corrosion risks and significantly reduces replacement frequency.

Opti-Float has consistently outperformed conventional float switches. Initial testing demonstrated a lifespan exceeding a decade—far beyond the industry average of one to two years. This reliability means fewer replacements, less downtime, and lower operational costs.

Cost-Effective by Design

Choosing a cheaper float switch may seem like a cost-saving measure, but frequent replacements and labor costs add up quickly. Every failure requires technicians to be dispatched, increasing expenses and operational disruptions. Opti-Float's extended lifespan reduces these costs, offering a clear return on investment by minimizing maintenance demands and disposal waste.

Opti-Float delivers unmatched durability and performance for municipalities and industries looking to transition to a more reliable, long-lasting solution. When the goal is efficiency, reliability, and safety, the choice is clear. Choose Opti-Float!
