If you’ve ever struggled to reach your garbage disposal switch—or worried about using it with wet hands—there’s a better option. Lew Electric’s air switch gives you a safe, stylish, and convenient way to power your garbage disposal right from your countertop. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen or upgrading a single feature, this simple switch can make a big difference.

Safer in Wet Kitchens

Unlike regular wall switches, which use electricity, Lew Electric’s air switch works using air pressure. That means no electrical wiring at the button—making it a safer choice around water. Perfect for homes and busy kitchens where safety matters.

Right Where You Need It

Wall switches are often placed behind the sink or too far away. Lew Electric’s air switch mounts right on your countertop, so it’s always within easy reach. That’s especially handy when you’re cleaning up and need both hands free.

Matches Your Kitchen Style

This isn’t just a functional upgrade—it’s a stylish one too. Choose from finishes like stainless steel, matte black, brushed nickel, bronze, and more to match your faucet or hardware. It blends right in with modern, traditional, or custom kitchens.

Easy to Install

Just drill a small hole in your countertop, connect the air tube to the disposal’s power module, and you’re done. No hardwiring or complex wiring needed—perfect for kitchen upgrades and professional installs.

Built to Last

Since the air switch doesn’t use electric contacts, it’s less likely to wear out. It’s also resistant to grease, dirt, and grime—things that can damage regular wall switches over time. That means fewer repairs and a longer life for your switch.

Lew Electric’s air switch is the smart, safe, and stylish way to control your garbage disposal. Easy to install, built to last, and designed to match your kitchen, it’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference.
