Perfect replacement for original switch.

My whirlpool tub (not a Jacuzzi brand) was installed in 2001 & worked fine except the motor switch died. This tub replaced a 5-ft long, cast-iron from 1958, i.e. it's nothing fancy. I found a couple of how-to videos on YouTube, just to see how to remove/disassemble the switch. The only hard part about my install was gaining access to the old switch. The new switch works perfectly (installed Jan. 2020).

Pros
  • This fit and worked exactly as it should with easy installation.
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other air switches on the market

Good replacement for "stuck " jetted bathtub air switch

This normally would be a simple job to replace a defective air switch. But, in my case, I had to create a small access opening next to my jetted/ air bubbler tub in order to reach in, remove the old switch, and replace it. My ability to reach in to remove the old and to install the new was severely limited due to the angle of my hands and the reach that I had. In any case, I was glad that I got the extra-long switch (I think it is 2.5 " long -- because I could angle it a bit and then just…

Pros
  • Easy to install. I did it myself in under 5 minutes. Fits perfectly.
Cons
  • May take up more space on the sink than traditional switches

Pump switch for Jacuzzi bath tub.

Our jacuzzi pump would not shut off so I looked it up on line and found that it could either be the push button or the switch on the pump. I found this one and decided to try this first and it worked perfectly. I could not replace my old one due to its location. I had to drill a new hole which happed to be located near the pump to the installation was easy. Just unplugged the old line and inserted the new one and it worked just fine.

Pros
  • Good value for the money easy to install and easy to use
Cons
  • May not be suitable for households with septic systems

as expected - my new review

this was replacement for an older one. The hose was not the same size, but could be fitted easily. So I'm happy with the switch

Pros
  • Just as advertised
Cons
  • May be more prone to wear and tear than traditional switches

Cost effective replacement

I needed a new disposal button for my new sink that matched the brushed stainless steel finish but every button I found was really expensive. This one matched well and has a smoother operation than the insinkerator brand that I replaced.

Pros
  • Simple switch out from broken one. Fit even better than the original.
Cons
  • May require additional tools to install

Kohler Tub Switch Replacement

Arrived quickly. Replaced the Air Switch on a Kohler jet tub --- small flare on the switch required me to widen the hole a bit. Works great. Couldn't find the part in any of the box stores or pool stores. Worked great.

Pros
  • It's longer so it will work for a thicker countertop. Very easy to install.
Cons
  • May be prone to leaks or damages if not installed correctly

Perfect replacement for my existing insinkerator switch

Got new countertops and faucet - a nice brushed stainless Delta faucet. Old air switch was polished chrome. Just the button was $20 or so, but found this for much less, and its the entire button assembly, so much easier to replace. Works perfectly with the insinkerator air switch control module. i actually got a new garbage disposal too but its a Wasteking. It works just fine with the same control module in case you're curious about compatibility.

Pros
  • Nice that I didn't have to pay for a new switch: most buttons were bundled with a new switch included.
Cons
  • May be vulnerable to damage from high temperatures or harsh chemicals

Diameter of hose. best in my review

Check the diameter of the hose. Some hoses ( this item) is too small for the existing electrical outlet and you will need to buy a new outlet or use the existing hose. Yes, it still works fine with the existing air line.

Pros
  • Easily a great replacement for my hot tub activator switch
Cons
  • May require an additional power source to function

Sturdy, solid button.

Super easy to install. Button actually feels sturdier than the original button. I had replaced my air switch about 6 months ago - from a different supplier - and the button stopped working. This was just to replace the button. So far, so good! Recommend.

Pros
  • I used product to operate trash disposal in kitchen. It was easy to install. The price fit my budget.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all types of garbage disposals

Very easy to install, looks and works great! The part that had to be replaced hadn't been working right for at least 2 years, I wish I had ordered much sooner. For reference the width of the cut out on my jacuzzi is 1 3/4" and it fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Easy install so far working perfectly
Cons
  • May not be as environmentally friendly as other waste disposal options

Works as it should.

We recently renovated our kitchen and got rid of a raised bar on our island. Because of this we no longer had a wall for the switch for our garbage disposal. This fixed the problem easily and matches the new black faucet well!

Pros
  • Plug and play out of the box.
Cons
  • May be difficult to replace in the future if the button or hose breaks

Not ONLY for garbage disposals!

I used this on my spa! Installed like a dream and the included tubing worked just fine with the existing air switch on the hot-tub motor. The manufacturer wanted $25 for an OEM part and ONLY available in white. I got this for HALF the price and in chrome.So there you have it.garbage disposals AND hot tubs!

Pros
  • Excellent quality, exact match for replacing pedicure pump air switch.
Cons
  • Hose may become clogged with food debris

Works Perfect best in my review

Had to replace the switch on my 11 year old Insinkerator disposal. Changed in under 5 minutes. Didn't even have to use the included hose. Just pulled the end of the hose off the whole broken switch and shoved it on the new switch and it worked perfect. 5 stars

Pros
  • It is a push button that has a back nut to tighten it up. How hard could it be?
Cons
  • May be more complex to install or replace compared to traditional switches

Worked well to replace Insinkerator junk

Good finish, easy to install and works! I replaced the Insinkerator model that failed after only 2 years. I had the same problem as others where the Insinkerator brand cracked in half on the threaded shaft.

Pros
  • Works fine
Cons
  • May require frequent cleaning or sanitizing to prevent odors or bacteria growth

Not the original, but works fine

This product has a little difference from original, but it still works fine after attaching the rubber washer from HomeDepot for the purpose of water proofing at the countertop.

Pros
  • So easy and handy.
Cons
  • May be prone to rust or corrosion over time

I knew Ebay would have it.

I was very happy to find out that they sell just the replacement button so that I didn't have to buy a whole new actuator . Works great easy and easy to install .

Pros
  • Everything was fine
Cons
  • May require professional installation

Great product! Why pay more?

Worked perfectly to replace a broken switch. Simple to install. Extra long so it fit through a granite countertop (which is why the old one failed, as it was too short). No need to pay more.

Pros
  • Easy to install and easy to use.
Cons
  • May not be as hygienic as other waste disposal options

Item arrived damaged.

This item was easy to install and it works great but it came scratched which I'm disappointed that I received a used/damaged item. I would have given 5 stars had it not been scratched.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • May not fit all standard-sized sinks

Couldn't Be Easier!

I needed this product in a color to match my new kitchen fixtures & hardware and couldn't find it on store shelves anywhere! This one fits the bill perfectly and was super easy to install!

Pros
  • Perfect fit, works perfect!
Cons
  • May be more expensive to repair or replace if damaged

Good product - my new review

Replaced countertop and backsplash, so this was a good time to remove the Disposal wall switch and add a air switch. Just as described.

Pros
  • Just as described
Cons
  • May not be compatible with older sink models
