Like many brand models, the Gilex 220 14 drainage pump is equipped with a float with circuit breaker. This part of the device operates using a simple mechanism, but this does not prevent it from bringing significant benefits during operation.

The float is a plastic hollow box, inside of which there is a light weight metal ball. At the base of the box there is a contact that closes electrical circuit only upon contact with the ball.

When the water level around the pump is high, the float rises and the ball consequently sinks to its base and completes the chain. The pump is turned on exactly until the water level drops. The float lowers and the device turns off. All this ensures the possibility of autonomous operation. It is not necessary for a person to monitor the pump at all. You can just turn it on and do other things. At the right moment, the device itself stops working. All this protects against wasted energy and, more importantly, wasted work. The pump does not break down from overheating, and its service life is noticeably increased.

Speaking about technical characteristics, it is worth mentioning the body of the device. It is quite standard in shape and is installed in a vertical position during operation.

Theoretically, it is suitable for pumping out any rain or melt water: in drainage wells, barrels, or in special collection tanks. It is better not to use it to clean natural or artificial reservoirs, where the level of water pollution is already higher. Also, this device is not suitable for pumping water during spring and autumn floods, because the liquid in such cases is highly contaminated.

The scope of application is already not very extensive, but, as practice shows, such a device is most often purchased for only one purpose - to ensure uninterrupted and autonomous watering of the garden.
