I had one I built to run off 12 vdc with 2 floats, hated it.  It was probably the switches I used but looking at the sump from across the room seemed to be enough disturbance to get it switching on and off like mad.  Nothing I tried as a snail / splash guard made a bit of difference.  I got the switches locally but they seemed identical to the ones you see with the cheap kits. 
 
I've got 2 Blueline tsunamis that I like much better.
