Float switch holders

[mark.a.smith405]

Hey everyone. Was thinking about installing a floatswitch in my ato reservoir but want to see how others have done this. Any ideas are welcome.


And Cody. I've already googled this

Buy scrap acrylic and create a mount that you glue on at the level you want it at. Also google again.

Haha yeah. Its tought to do that in an ato reservoir from AA because of the lid and tiny hole for the wires. I want to maintain the clean look of the reservoir without having scrap busting out the top. Has anyone seen a magnetic float holder? I can't seem to find one

magnets will eventually leak and rust. with gluing acrylic piece can always be done really clean.

I'm not sure how I would attach it to the resevoir without it holding the lid open or hanging out the top. And I know the magnet will eventually leak rust but we still use power heads and tunze magnets no? I also use a frag rack that has magnets haha

Drill a hole low on your ATO reservoir where you want the switch and install.

I'm just kidding.

I used a float switch with suction cups

Hey Andy, when you get this done post some pictures.. I was thinking about doing the same thing because I forget to check the level in my reservoir. I am using a 22 gallon Brut trash can for ATO reservoir, and am leery of drilling a hole. Would hate to have 20 gallons of water on the floor due to a leak behind my tank skin. Wanted something I can hook to my APEX to send an alert when the water level is low...

Suction cup will fall

You can buy magnets n plastic dip them ( or use the small mag float ) then get scrap acrylic and bend them to 90 glue and you are done

Suction cup will fall

Not too worried about it since it's only used to notify me that my ATO reservoir is low
