Sump pump level warning device

A sump well fluid level indicator for a sump having a submersible discharge pump at the bottom of the sump well and a fluid discharge line extending upwardly out of the sump well from the pump, comprising:

• a housing secured to the discharge line,
• a float actuated switch disposed within said first housing, said switch including a conductor element secured to the uppermost portion of a nonconducting elongated shaft extending outwardly from the bottom of said first housing and having a buoyant member secured to the lower end of said shaft externally of said housing,
• electric circuit means for conducting electrical power through said switch, including a battery disposed within said first housing directly above said conductor element whereby when said float switch is activated, said conductor element contacts a single terminal of said battery, whereas when said float switch is deactivated, said conductor element is spaced apart from said single battery terminal,
• a second housing,
• an alarm secured to said second housing,
• a signal light secured to said second housing,
• first selectively engageable connector means for detachably connecting said second housing to said first housing, and at the same time electrically connecting said electric circuit means to said alarm and said signal light, whereby when said switch is closed said alarm and signal light are activated,
• second selectively engagable connector means for detachably connecting said second housing to a support structure remotely positioned with respect to said first housing when said first connector means is disengaged, and
• third selectively engagable connector means for electrically connecting said electric circuit means to said alarm and signal light when said first connector means is disengaged,
• wherein said buoyant member remains disposed externally of said first housing when said switch is in its open and closed positions.
