I emailed, Paul said I had to mail it back to them and they'd refund the purchase price, meaning I'd be out $21.95 X 2 = $43.90.

He also said I don't really need to put the zip ties through the holes, I can just wrap them around the two pieces and pull it tight. That doesn't seem stable enough for me. There should be nylon screws with aligned holes IMO.

Hey, I love your user ID "no bs" haha.

I checked them out and they don't have anything listed under auto topoffs but thanks for the suggestion I'll keep them in mind next time I'm shopping online. Cheers.

If you're sure of the height placement you can just use CA glue to cement the two brackets together. If you ever need to take it apart again you'll have to soak it in acetone and do some prying.

I have this uneasy feeling about about ac current and water mixing specially for something that's a diy and not hemetically sealed. Which is why I used a relay to isolate it.
