Float switches
 

Wondering where I can buy a float switch locally, I'm 3/4 way through building a 15 Gallon sump and find it doesn't fit under my new tank. I was going to use a Kent ABS but would like to try an electric float switch as I'll be using a 10 gallon aquarium now (or smaller).

Go to Pacific Controls in Vancouver, they will have what you are looking for.
The number is 604-879-6711

Thanks for the info.

Robert thanks for the info but I had to cough at the $76 price tag.
I'll figure out how to make the kent one work.

Electric Float switch
 

GO to Acklands/Grainger - Ask for Liquid level float switch --Madison,Part #2A554
It cost about $10.00
Can be used both constant On or Off

That sounds a heck of a lot more reasonable. The person I was talking to at Pacific Controls was telling me I need stainless etc etc, I told him there should be one much cheaper but he said no.
Thanks for the info I'll be in contact with them soon.

Ya, the madison one is all plastic too

Other alternatives... Ivan at aquaria.ca sells em - 10$ singles, but the price drops quick in quantities...

Nice plastic switches too - use one of them for the auto top off on my 2.75
