How can I put these Float Switches onto this Barrel

[bozoreefer]

I have float switches I want to attach to the RODI and Saltwater Barrel, but I can't think of ways to attach them to the barrel.

For RODI Bin: Id like to have high and low float switches with enough space in between to trigger and automatic refill of 30-40 gallons


For Saltwater Bin: Just a low to tell me that saltwater is low via Apex

I just dont know how to attach them to the bin.

Ive attached pictures of the products I have.


Thanks folks!

SMH I have a feeling that I should have bought these instead.

You have to make an acrylic L- bracket that holds the switch and attaches to the drum with a nylon screw.

You definitely should have bought those. Those are ideally suited for your application. Those are the same style float switches that my Spectrapure MaxCap UHE unit came with. I have them installed in my 100 gallon vertical RODI storage tank.

Yep!

Could you secure the 2 switches to a PVC pipe and secure that pipe to the barrel lid so it hangs vertically into the barrel?

Thanks man for the tip! I will buy these as well. I can use the original ones for sump water level.

I'm so dumb lol.

Thanks the advice! I'm going to consider that route, but I think it might be easier to just buy the correct ones hahha.



How do you have yours set up?


I appreciate your input though! Thanks heaps!
