I’m looking to protect my main recirculating pump in case the water level falls too low in the sump. The controller I’ve been using finally gave up the ghost.
I’m looking for something relatively inexpensive and reliable that will shut off the power to the main pump if the water level in the sump falls too low. The current design is a float switch connected to a relay that’s outside the sump. If the water level falls too low, the float causes the relay to open, cutting power to the main pump (and other items sitting in the sump).
I’ll admit that I’ve never actually had an emergency where the switch needed to cut the power (knock on wood it won’t happen), but I’d sleep better knowing I had some protection there.
Thanks in advance!
