Ive got 2 float switches wired in line with a aqualifter ( just cut into an extension cord ) . With 2 switches its snail proof if one fries theres still a backup switch and it was cheap $4 for floatswitches off ebay . If you get any kind of air leak with the bucket idea it will drain . Oh and everyone whos is paranoid about frying floatswitches with too much currant , an aqualifter draws 3 watts , so at 120 v thats only .04 amps , the switches are rated for 5 amps.
