I have a tight area that i am contemplating using the atk. Are you able to remove the float valve and still use the atk as usual? If i do this I may add another sensor or two for redundancy. One at a higher level in the tank before it overflows above the water line and also maybe one in the reservoir. On the flip side do they make other sizes of floats that i could just attach and still get the usability? I would need the entire sensor unit to fit in an area of 4.25"x3.5" and depth does not really matter. Is it possible to deform the float and flatten it to get it to work? Just trying to brainstorm some ideas here. Attached is the picture of my situation. As you can see i dont have much area to work in as this is in all in one system. The 90 degree elbow may also be in the way but i currently do not have an atk to compare the size to. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
