Anyone know of any place around here to get a float switch. I was looking for something like the attached pic but was hoping to find it around here.

Thanks

I got one from them and they are top notch. I just set it up last week, took me about 5 minutes, left my tank for 5 days and it worked flawlessly

I have one from them also. Simple to set up and works perfect for me.

With their setup, do you just add a power head and be done with it? It doesn't really say in the description. ( unless i missed it)

Is it pushing it to ask if there is a DIY float switch? $30 bucks just for the switch is a little more than im able to spend for the unnecessaries

I have a Coralife Pure-Flo Float-Valve for $18...someone special ordered it a couple months ago and never picked it up!!!

The switch from top-off.com is a 110 volt switch. It has an outlet like the end of an extension cord. Plug in anything you want.

I have thier Top-Off Solenoid Valve connected to mine. The output of my RO/DI unit is plumbed to the tank through the valve. It's completely hands free automatic.

I have the whole thing wired through a second float switch just for insurance, but it's never been an issue yet.
