Does anyone have a link to any DIY auto top-off's. I want to build one but I cannot find any good plans. There is one were they cut an extension cord and no relay but the never show how to hook up the float valve

. I have seen a few site with ones but there discriptions are pretty vague, and I'm more of a picture guy.

To do it without a relay, all you have to do is cut one wire on the extension cord. Then put the switch on that one cut wire...

I wouldn't do it without a relay though. Putting that much power through a float switch isn't a good idea. For the cost of a relay, I think its a good investment.

I make those too

Sorry for the late reply but that was some awesome plan very detailed think I'm gonna try it. But is there a way to wire it with out the second plug? The one that Harvey is selling looks like it only has I plug.
In then end I will probably spend more than what Harv wants for his but something I wanna try.
