Built for cleaning contractors keeping Sandia Sniper extractors running through daily job schedules, the Sandia 10-0803 Splashproof Switch replaces the heater control switch on Sniper 6-gallon and 12-gallon units when moisture exposure has caused the original switch to corrode or fail.
Built For
- Replacing a failed or corroded heater switch on Sandia Sniper extractors
- Contractors who run heated extraction jobs and need reliable heater control
- Facility teams maintaining their own fleet of extractors in-house
Specifications
The switch carries a splash-proof housing designed specifically for the wet operating environment around a carpet extractor's control panel, protecting the internal contacts from spray-back that would corrode or short a standard switch. It is a direct-fit replacement for the heater switch position on compatible Sniper 6-gallon and 12-gallon extractors. A lighted variant (10-0803-H) is also available for operators who want a visual indicator when the heater circuit is energized.
What does the Splashproof Switch control on the Sniper extractor?
The 10-0803 is the splash-proof power switch used on the heater circuit of Sandia Sniper 6-gallon and 12-gallon extractors, letting the operator turn the heater on and off at the machine without exposing standard switch contacts to spray-back.
Why does it need to be splash-proof?
Carpet extractors work in a wet environment where solution and recovered water routinely splash near the control panel. A splash-proof housing keeps moisture out of the switch contacts, which prevents the corrosion and shorting that cause standard switches to fail early on this equipment.
Is there a lighted version available?
Yes, Sandia also offers a lighted variant of this switch (10-0803-H) that illuminates when the heater circuit is active, giving the operator a quick visual confirmation the heater is on.
Is this a straightforward DIY replacement?
Most operators replace this switch with basic hand tools by removing the control panel cover, disconnecting the wire leads, and swapping in the new switch. If your extractor is under a service contract, check with your servicer first to avoid affecting the warranty.
