Float Switch for pump


After seeing what a fine line it is to having a balanced flow between overflow rate and the pump rate vs flooding your tank by a overpowering pump. I have decided to install a low level float into my refugium connected to my main pump.

Saw this one on Marine Depot:

Have any folks used this one? Can anyone recommend something else? I want to get one installed before I run the tank 24/7.

Thanks reefBoyDc. But I'm leaning toward the Ultralife. Seems like alot of folks are using it.
