Diversitech DIVE-CS-3 Condensate Float Switch Clip Mount

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-CS-3 is a clip-mount condensate float switch designed to prevent water damage caused by clogged air conditioning condensate drain lines. When water rises in the auxiliary or main drain pipe, the switch detects the elevated level and shuts the system down before overflow occurs. At its core is a magnetic reed switch built from materials that resist rust and sticking, ensuring consistent, reliable operation over the life of the equipment. This switch is installed by HVAC technicians as part of a standard condensate management setup on residential and light commercial air conditioning systems.

The DIVE-CS-3 is suited for use in HVAC applications where condensate overflow protection is required. It mounts via a clip onto the auxiliary or primary drain pan or drain line, making it practical for new installations and service replacements alike. The design prioritizes ease of installation and serviceability, reducing time on the job without sacrificing performance. It is commonly used in split systems, package units, and air handler installations where protecting ceilings, walls, and flooring from water damage is a priority.

Key Features

• Magnetic reed switch core delivers precise, repeatable actuation
• Constructed of rust-resistant, non-sticking materials for long service life
• Clip-mount design simplifies installation in drain pan or drain line applications
• Shuts off the system automatically when condensate rises to unsafe levels
• Easy to service and replace during routine maintenance calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install condensate float switch for residential and light commercial HVAC systems with auxiliary or primary drain pans and drain lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Power down the air conditioning system at the disconnect before installing or servicing the switch. Clip the switch onto the drain pan lip or drain line at the manufacturer-recommended water level position, and verify wiring connections are secure before restoring power. Confirm system shutdown response by testing with water before returning the unit to normal operation.
