there should be some available there on tuesday, how many do you need?

One for sure. It's a toss up of this or a kent float valve. But for $15, can't beat that.

So all you need to add to get this baby to work is a switch-box with an outlet/connection for the top-off pump or solenoid?

thats right! even putting it inline on an extension cable could theoretically work if done correctly.

Also these could be used with your RKE or RKL system to program your ATO system

I believe, as Eugene has told me before, you just splice the switch into the power cord of the pump. If i'm wrong Eugene will pipe up and explain.

I do use a similar switch but bought somewhere else. You can do it that way and it will work.
But I feel uneasy running an ac line pretty close to a water source for something that's diy even though i made it. I have mine connected to a dc source which triggers a relay to turn on.
