I haven't hooked mine up either. I wont do that until I get my basement fishroom set up. I'm hoping it wont be much longer. The unit how ever is very well built.

Mine is up and running finally. Unit seems very well built. Putting it together was pretty easy. I think I over did the float switch brackets with 3/4" pvc, but I had a lot of the stuff on hand already.

:thumbsup: I kind of wish now I would have bought more than one :thumbsup:

I wouldnt use those supplied wire nuts. I will solder mine then cover with heat shrink tubing

 

[johndawg]

Scott, any pics of how you set it up?

John,
Maybe I will take pics when I set mine up and post them here but in the mean time THIS SITE may help you understand how most people set them up. I was hoping to use an acrylic strip to mount the switches to and add the snail guards by mounting the switch inside of a pc of 1" pvc with a cap on each end and holes drilled in it to let the water in and out.

Well, once I figured out for my purposes, i only needed to use one of the float sensors,
it was a real easy set-up following the instructions included. Here is a pic of the temporary set-up
