Looking for suggestions for float switch mounts

[morleyz]

I'm looking to mount some float switches in my saltwater and ATO reservoir so I can get notifications from Apex when they need to be filled. I'm using the 22 gallon brute cans for both of these. Any suggestions for mounting float switches?

This is what you want. It's a bulkhead style mount that will never leak if properly installed. I use them on my 100 gallon RODI and Salt Water holding holding tanks. Not the cheapest but they are the best hands down. Madison Horizontal bulk head style float switch with compression gasket. This will connect right up to the Apex breakout box. It wil last a lifetime and never leak.

Thanks. I ended up buying 2 of these. Follow up question though, if you don't mind. Do you recall what size hole you drilled? The spec sheet says it requires a .91 inch hole, which doesn't seem to match up with any imperial or metric sizes.

I honestly don't remember. I got mine originally from SpectraPure but they are the same ones. Since you are drilling into a plastic container, it doesn't need to be perfect. In fact, if you go a little smaller, you could even thread it into the hole or just walk the bit around the hole and enlarge it until the sensor will slide into it.

Great. Thanks.
