float switch

[lauterbrunnen]

Hi Folks,

I've just put in a sump in my system using the DIY PVC overflow pipe. Now I am a bit worried in case the overflow gets stuck and my return pump keeps on feeding water to main tank. Now I plan to put a fail safe using a float switch in the main tank to stop the pump in case reaches a certain level.

I've checked the float switch at Sim Lim and it's a whooping 60$. I've seen some threads that bought it at 18$ Can anyone point me to that place?

Online it's 6.99 USD - http://www.aquahub.com/cgi-aquahub/sb/order.cgi?rd=1&storeid=*126defa89c821c789641db&sbid=SSMSB1313463006.21384&redirect=yes

TIA.

You can go for the $10+ switch.

Have you considered installing a 2nd overflow? Then you have a backup path in case the 1st one is stuck.

whoa nice! unfortunately i ordered those from ebay already at only 2$ but i think waiting time will be looong.

nope. the first overflow is already eating up space in the tank i'll just use the float switch to turn off the pump as safety. actually so far the overflow is very stable.

If you are paying less for a product that does the same thing. Y not?
