I want to use a vertical float switch in the top of the skimmer cup to prevent overflows. Any recommendations? Have others done this already or is this a horrible idea?
Thanks,

Avast marine has a separate container that does this, you hook the skimmer overflow to this container which has a pressure switch to cut off skimmer when full.

Why not pull the pressure switch out of it and mount that in your lid?Thanks. I actually have one of the skimmate locker but have no room unfortunately to use it in my stand. Was really disappointed with that as they work great.
I bought a 5/16 by 2.5 inch nylon bolt and a float switch from Brs. I used the nut to couple the bolt and float switch together. With the length of the bolt and float it was perfect depth.Jeremy, any particular float switch? One of my worries is getting one that's too short. I have a Aquamaxx Cones Q-3 skimmer.
Thanks. The programming I had as it's similar to the water detectors but wasn't sure if people had used it in the skimmer cup or not or issues with a float valve gunking up too quickly and not functioning. When I'm home I'm always checking on the tank but wanted something to monitor the skimmer when I'm travelling so could try to get the wife to clean it.
