Shellback Torpedo Sump Pump Float

[johngregory]

New to the group and hope someone can help with my question.

I have a Shellback Torpedo sump pump. Can anyone help with how to adjust the float to make it kick on sooner? Right now the water keeps rising above the floor level before it kicks on. I also noticed the level inside the drain is much higher than it used to be.

from what I can deduce from the diagram, there is a collar that goes around the pump body that goes down into the floor drain. by loosening this collar you can move the pump up or down hopefully changing its kick in - kick out level.

The pump sits on a white PVC tube going into the floor. I'm not sure if it can be adjusted but will check when I get home. There is a flexible rubber tube going down into the pvc tube from the pump. I'm wondering if that has something to do with the float. Thanks for the reply though.

that tube could be a pressure transducer for a diaphragm switch
