Title: sump pump water sensor
Post by: khanhnguyen99 on October 30, 2011, 09:26:22 PM
Hi all,
I am looking for the water sensor for my sum pump, which help to turn on/off on setting water level. Would you please let me know what type should I use and where can I buy? I would like to use the merchanical with the floater, NOT the electronics sensor.
Thank you

I have seen a lot of various water level sensors on eBay... Search for Auto Top Off, and you'll get some results.  I'm currently looking at a JBJ auto top off system which seems to be reliable, but it's electronic which you indicated that you don't want.

(the best one & most reliable that I've heard of is the Tunze Osmolator, by the way)
