[Mr.Mustang]

Hey guys just wondering if some of you could chime in and let me know if the ebay float switches are worth getting or should i get ones from a retail store. Thanks here are 2 examples.

IMHO i think it's most likely the same float switch just rebranded. You just have to wait a bit longer if it's shipped from overseas

I got my sump-mounted double float switch from autotopoff.com. They use Madison floats, which I understand to be more reliable. That perception, and the good reputation of that website among folks on RC led me to purchasing their float switch.

+3 autotopoff.com I have used mine for over 5 years and never had a problem. The upper safety float is a plus as well.

I've used ebay switches for years with no issues. I'm a DIY fanatic though..
