local float switches?

[bobbyblank]

Has anyone seen small float switches around localy? Not the big bulky swindarm style with the giant bulb at the end, but like these http://www.aquahub.com/store/index.html I have been to the warhouse stores and a few hot spots i know but cannot find any like these. I'll probably just order online, but i dont want to wait for delivery and shipping.

Make sure you use a relay, don't put 120VAC down those switches.

Ditto, make sure to get the relay. You can pick one up at radio shack for ~$5.

I planned on it, I build robots also, so i have plenty of relays and other gizmos laying around the crib. Now im just waiting for them to arive. Also trying to find a container large enough to store a good amount of water, small enough to not get yelled at by my old lady!
