RectorSeal®, Houston, a manufacturer of quality HVAC/R and plumbing tools and accessories, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSW Industrials, Inc. has introduced the new Safe-T-Switch® SSW Multipurpose water sensor.

patent-pending SSW water sensor

With no moving parts to break or become clogged, the patent-pending SSW water sensor is placed directly into a metal or plastic secondary drain pan or on a floor. The logic circuit of the SSW continuously samples the sensor probes for the accumulation of water and determines if the presence of water is transient or permanent.  

When proprietary sensors detect as little as a 1/16-inch level of permanent water, the SSW water sensor automatically shuts the HVAC system down. A red LED on the top cover of the unit indicates that the SSW has been activated. After the water has cleared, the SSW water sensor will automatically reset.  

Easy installation

The unit is UL 508 listed and comes complete with all wiring required for installation

Installation of the unique, puck-style SSW water sensor is effortless, and the weight of the unit offsets the need for mounting. The unit is UL 508 listed and comes complete with all wiring required for installation.
