Hi guys,
I just wanted to share my first attempt at a float switch with you guys.

I have two switches for redundancy just in case the one on the bottow sticks the second one will cut off the pump. I am going to have it all hooked up to a timer so I will be able to control when it is in operation as a further safe gurard.

I made it out of spare acrylic, 16 guage wire, 2 floatswitches, a two wire extension cord and that is about it. I routed out the center of the mounting plate to make it adjustable in case I want to change the level of water in my sump. It definetely look like a DIY job but, hey if it works who cares it is out of view anyway.
