Here are some more information for Tether Switch:

What are the differences between the submersible and pedestal sump pumps?

Placement: A submersible is designed to be placed in a sump pit and submerged in water. The pedestal is designed so the pump sits in the sump pit, but the motor sits outside the pit. The motor should not get wet.

Stability: The submersible pump is placed on the bottom of the sump pit so it is very stable. On the other hand the other type has the pump on the bottom of the pit, but the motor is outside the pit. A brace attached to the motor is required to make it stable.

Float-switch: The submersible sump has one of four types of float/switches: Tether floats hang freely from the side of the pump and float when the water around the pump raises. Vertical floats have a ball that moves up and down on a vertical rod with only a slight movement. A diaphragm, which is a membrane located on a drum shaped mechanism, becomes concave with increased water pressure which activates the pump. A probe controlled by a microprocessor which senses water pressure and activates the pump. The pedestal has a tether float

Sentry light signal: A submersible sump pump operating with a probe is the only float-switch mechanism that lets the owner know if it is operating properly when not running. The pedestal pump has a visible sentry light that indicates if it is operating.

Ease of replacing faulty float-switch: A submersible with a failed float, vertical switch attached to the pump or a diaphragm requires removal of the pump from the pit for replacement. A pedestal float mechanism is attached to the motor which is outside the pit so does not require removal of the pump from the pit.

Noise level and safety: A submersible sump is quieter because it sits in the pit. The pit and water reduce the noise. A submersible pump is also safer because it is in the pit. Children cannot touch any part of the pump unless the sump pit cover is not in place. The occurrence of an electrical problem is more likely to happen to the submersible pump since it is in the water, however such problems rarely occur.

Life span and cost: The pedestal pump has a longer life span. Water does take its toll on a submersible pump. Pedestals are known to last 2 to 5 times longer and are cheaper than submersible pumps.

Handling of debris: The submersible is built to handle small solids since it comes with a screen over the face of the pump preventing debris to be sucked up into the impeller. The pedestal style has a hose or pipe that reaches down into the bottom of the pit and sucks up anything in its surroundings.

Which of the two types is best for you? The following questions are designed to help you in your decision process to select the pump that is best for you.

Are you concerned about pumping capacity and stability? A submersible handles greater volumes of water and is more stable.

Are you concerned about cost? A pedestal is cheaper.

Are you concerned about safety and the noise level? A pedestal is noisy and is not recommended for use where children or pets exist and for basements that are used for family living.

Are there small particles in your sump pit water? A pedestal pump is not built to handle solids or particles.

Are you looking for a pump where you can replace the float-switch without having to remove the pump from the sump pit? Few submersible pumps have a float cage that is external to the pump. The pedestal sump pump float-switch maintenance is outside the pit.

Cisco Hardware to power 4G WiMax Networks

The terms '4G' and 'WiMax' have been thrown around quite a lot over the past several years. 4th Generation broadband access has been often seen as the futuristic offspring of the current 3G network technology.  The outlook for 4G was optimistic- upload and download speeds nearly identical to anchored cable connections but effortlessly available on-the-move across the country. Disappointingly, a number of legal, economic, and political hurdles have slowed a nation-wide release of WiMax. Currently it has only been deployed in Baltimore and Portland, with limited access.

It's a relief that Clearwire, the primary mover of 4G WiMax technology, has announced a partnership with Cisco Systems.  Cisco has been known to be a company that puts it's money where it's mouth is and delivers products in a timely and efficient manner.  The addition of Cisco as a partner to create WiMax equipment should speed up the initiative as a whole.   Cisco will be charged with building new mobile WiMax devices for CLEAR 4G consumers, small offices as well as the small and medium-sized business arenas.

From Cisco's Newsroom:

"By teaming with Cisco, one of the world's most forward-looking IP network infrastructure providers, we're building a robust and cost-efficient next-generation network that's designed specifically for delivering rich broadband services," said Scott Richardson, Chief Strategy Officer of Clearwire. "In addition, Cisco plans to develop WiMAX technology for end-user devices, which will give consumers and businesses more compelling ways to stay connected through our CLEAR 4G service."

Just to recap for those who have been missing for the past two years:  3G is the network technology that is touted every five minutes on a cell phone commercial for Sprint, Verizon, AT&T,  and every other carrier with the capital for a 30 second spot.  The big carriers try to one up each other with claims of the most far reaching network or the largest capacity for data transfer.  In reality, 3G networks still have quite a few holes in their nationwide plans and the data transfer almost never actually reaches the touted 1-2 mbps downstream speeds.

3G networks have never truly been an end-goal, but rather an in-between state between anchored broadband and next generation technologies like WiMax.  Sure - you can check your email, get directions and even watch a video or two on your iPhone or via your cellular broadband card.   Utilizing the 3G networks has always been a compromise though, it's never quite as fast or reliable as a land connection.  There is always the sigh of relief when you connect to your home or office's wireless network.

We've been in  limbo; to be fully productive citizens of the Internet, we need our 4G technologies.   Nationwide WiMax will open up the doors to overdue features like full-fledged cell phone video conferencing capabilities.  Cisco is the perfect partner to manufacture the networking hardware necessary for this next leap in human connectivity.  They already have the record of success for developing the routers and switches for our prior generation of networking needs.  Used Cisco hardware has proliferated the market for a reason- it is well built and made to work efficiently.

"Around the globe, mobile WiMAX providers continue to make great strides bringing 4G mobile Internet services to market, and we are pleased that Clearwire has selected Cisco to help un-tether its Internet customers across the United States while delivering high performance," said Brett Galloway, senior vice president, wireless and security technology group of Cisco.

Installing Tether Kill Switch HELP!!!!?

I got a tether killswitch for Christmas and i have no idea how to install it...its for my 2003 Honda 400ex...HELP!!!

this is very simple. the 400ex has a closed loop electrical system. which means you open the circuit to kill it. this simply means you ground the coil when the tether is pulled. the easiest way to do that it to take the stock kill switch wiring and just splice into it. there is a yellow/black wire on the coil. take the long wire on the tether kill and connect it to that wire. the short wire off the tether simply gets grounded to something on the frame. make sure you have a good clean ground on the frame sandpaper or something to clean up under the bolt you use.
