Looking for safety float switch to turn pumps off

[Brent Thomann]

Hi to all!

looking for a couple inexpensive float switches that will turn my return pump of if the water level gets to high, safety measure. Just incase my siphon gets clogged.

I search and search but only came up with your standard auto-top off switches.

Yeah, if I was to some how make theirs work for my situation then I stil run into a problem with the 50 watt rating.

I know I saw something out there that I could of just plug my pump into the switch or a section of the unit and then mount the switch where ever I wanted. When the switch was activated it would turn off my pump or what ever I had plugged into it. It was very basic and simple.

I have the one shown here and it switches an effluent pump for my septic system drain lines. If if holds up under those conditions, it should work in a reef tank.
