Best Auto Top Off Switch?


Anyone have any suggestions for an auto top off switch. I have purchased one, and had it replace two weeks later to only have that one die on me in three weeks.

Anyone have a source I can look into?

Thanks

Do you mean float switch?? If so, how was it wired?
Wiring it directly into an outlet will fry those float switches. You need a commercial type or a homemade job like this one

Yes I do and I highly recommend it. It's cheap, well made and works. I bought it as is and added a 2nd failsafe float to it. I mounted the (2) floats in a PVC pipe T bar shaped gizmo. (to the left of the pH monitor)
