So I'm going to be using a float switch to control the auto top off system.
My top off water is above the sump.
I'm wondering if there's any advantage to using a solenoid and gravity to top off instead of a small pump? (other than the fact that I'd have to buy a solenoid whereas I already have a small pump)
My primary concern is safety; I live in an apartment(my landlady lives downstairs), I have to avoid floods at all costs. (floods=0, spills=many)
Also where do you buy your float switches?
I've been considering http://www.aquahub.com but leaning more towards an already made double switch at http://autotopoff.com
