Anyone tried fabric softener?

super helpful, thank you 🤙🏼

This guy is full of shit. He’s using something else

I’m calling B.S. I’ve got an older home made in 1976. I have no idea what glue was used, but I’ve tried every combination of ideas in the comments and it is still tough to get off. I’m considering grinding it

Would have been a good idea to unplug the pump before you do anything?

My pump only humming but not pump water. Do u know why?

I have the same exact problem with the float switch on my Zoeller M53 sump pump. I replaced the entire pump with a brand new M53, but after watching this video, I think I will rehab the old one with this Levelguard switch. Rather than cutting the wires, could you have just moved the wire connections directly from the incoming power cord to the connection points on the pump? Just wondering. Thanks

I tried this with both cold water first, and then boiling hot water, but it had absolutely no effect. A local flooring company gave me a sample of something called 747 Plus from Sentinel. I drizzled it on and waited 15 minutes and it came off easily with a regular putty knife. It has changed my life; LOL!

I'll never buy another pump with an integral float switch. External tethered switches last longer & are easy & cheap to replace.

Awesome work

Goo off works amazingly well too as I just discovered since I'm doing my bathroom floor had some left under the sink and sprayed it down took a razor to it and it came right up.

Great idea, preparation is the most important step.

Brilliant video and excellent guidance, you made the repair painless and stress free. Very happy wife :) Very much appreciated !!!

Save your self time to do something batter

Bro just buy a new one

I used boiling hot jug water to cover adhesive with paper backing and dishwashing liquid left for 5mins then scraped off. Easy job! Messy but easy... Old towels to wipe and throw away.

Tried and true. I used a steamer to soak.

Life saver

What was in the Testors box ?

Easy because your glue is water based.

fantastic video! i really enjoyed watching it!

This method you are using is time consuming, dirty, and unnecessary. The problem is, you are using an improper tool for the job. A 18 inch scrapper and 10 new blades will scrap up that bathroom floor in less than 30 minutes. I scraped all kinds of stuff off floors and this kind of vinyl is easy compared to vinyl tile which leaves a sticky glue on the floor. There is a method in the way you should use a scraper. You never push forward, you go sideways taking off about an inch or so and you flip your blade from time to time. You got it done but did it the hard way.

why did the switch fail? Contacts just fail or burn?

good job a real help thank you

Use floor vinyl stripper that is used by cleaners to remove old vinyl sealer/polish. Mix with water, 40% stripper 60% water, mop it on let it soak in for about 3/4 of an hour turns old glue to past . Ensure you use the correct PPE gloves respirator eye protection ect

How long did you let the water sit for?

To much talking

Is that hot or cold water please?

I'm literally watching an instant replay of my day today. What is the average life span of the switch typically? I've lost two of my pumps in one year.

I have a sewage ejector pump which is covered in....well, lets just say its not covered in powdered cocoa. Anyway plan is to do this and repaint it an put on a shelf as a spare

What about tar adhesive on a basement concrete floor.

4 and a half minutes into the video and you haven't even started yet.

HAAAAAAAAAAA, I have that exact same hammer, and the head fell off on me years ago, good memories tossing it in the trash and getting another. Good video post, thanks.

Thank you for sharing. Doing the kitchen now.

So after killing myself for the last hour working on a 4x4 area using a torch, 4 inch scraper, long pole 2 inch scraper and multitool scraper...I found this video. You have saved my life cause I was literally thinking of ways to kill myself. This technique works so fucking good that it should be the go to method for everyone...but no...I had to find the dickheads with torch techniques first..grrr.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Try a mixture of water, dish detergent, baking soda, salt and vinegar and pour on floor.

Thanks for the demo. It really helped me change mine out. I have to give props to Zoeller customer service. I emailed them explaining the problem I was having. The pump would not turn on every once in a while and I had to tap it before it would work. The tech told me it was a bad switch and immediately sent me out a new one free of charge. THAT is the way to back up your product.

This was a great video - found it first and because of it realized I could replace the switch myself. Spoke to 2 plumbers who would not replace the switch, only the entire pump for over $500. I read other comments about the lubricant for the gasket - I didn’t use any and hope it will be ok. If not, not that I want to, it will be easy to fix again. Thank you! This was my experience that I posted on FB. facebook.com/711291894/posts/10155578799411895/

My switch was not turning off so the well was going dry. I called my plumber and he said the pump had to be replaced but I told him to just replace the switch. He said thats not possible because its a specialty item and not doable. Lost my trust in him after finding the item very easy on line for a couple of dollars and your video just so easy. Thank you.

Cool video. But your check vale is 1 1/2”. 2 inch pipe. 2 inch pump. Better performance and valid warranty 2 inch check valve needed.

👍🏻

Considering how often these switches fail would it make more sense to use a piggyback switch? That’s what I did. Here is my story: between 2004 and 2007 I had about 4 failures all due to switches. Then I bought a levelguard switch in 2008. Now it’s 10 years later and it’s still working. If it does eventually fail, replacing a piggyback switch is much easier since you don’t have to disassemble anything.

You missed the dielectric fluid which is missing in your pump. How can you forget that?

Hitting the cast iron cover could crack it. Instead put a large flat screw driver between the tabs and the guard rod on either side and pry up. Do the same for the back between the shelf like protrusion that your were hitting and the frame. It will pry right up.

I watched the whole video to see how you put the gasket on, if you applied a gasket seal lubricant. >.< you skipped over that part, and 9 minutes of my life I cannot get back.

I have 3 of these Zoeller pumps and have had to replace all of them.My wifeI even called a plumber one time and he had no idea this could be done and just replaced one entire unit. I spoke to Zoeller several times and, one thing that can make this even easier is the fact you do not have to replace the white plug. In fact (even though the directions do not say this), they recommend you DO NOT replace this unless you have to. I wish I new this before because it is really hard to get it in there. Also, if you have a pump that runs all of the time, these are going to burn out in a couple of years. The Zoeller poeple said to either lift the pump in tank (so it is higher and does not cycle on so much) and/or use a piggyback float so it does not run so much. Set it up as high as possible in the tank - Zoeller 10-0055 Switch-Mate Piggyback Variable Level Float Switch

I think the plastic plug may be a spot for pressure testing after your work is complete. if it leaks after this work, there is a potential for shock. maybe just use a GFI, or put the outlet where you can reach it when you come down the stairs?

Just replaced my switch using your video. Your video made it easy as if I knew what I was doing. Thanks!
