Hi Max,
I have 7 float switchers here controlling the pumps here in pits to pump the water out of the place. The switches are mounted above the pits and they work perfectly. This one is an issue because I can't mount it above the tank because the rideon mower would chew it up. It has to be 100% waterproof because it has to be fitted inside the tank. The switch we have been using has worked perfectly until the latest rain washed a bit of dirty water off the roof and this little bit of muddy water prevents the magnets for doing the switching. Give it a clean and it will work fine but it is a major job to get to the switch because it is 4 feet down inside the tank and the 4 wires have to be disconnected from the relay and drawn out through the conduite to get to the floats to clean them.You cannot see anything on the switch tube but once you clean it with a bit of steel wool the switch works perfectly again. I an going to have to see if I can set the switch up out of the water and make remote floats to move the floats on the switch to move up and down. Just like I have nothing else to do with my time, all I want is a float switch that is set and forget, but life is not that simple
