This is DIY kit from autotopoff website, uses relay “JQX-13F”.
I tried getting pic of diagram on relay but really hard to.

I thought it would come with basic directions but nothing. I’m fine with wiring, I just cannot read these tiny little schematics for the life of me.

It is switching on 120v, but float vavles are powered with 12v transformer.

Link to kit, it is the first item listed

Edit....also link for relay info.

The float valves will energize the coil of the relay switching th e states of the contacts. The 120v will connect to the normally open set of contacts that will close when the coil is energized by the 12v from the floats. If someone doesn’t chime in soon I will try to get a diagram drawn up and post it for you when I get a little time. Hope this helps.

Dont you usually want normally closed valves or relays? In case you lose power they close and stop water flow.

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
