« on: December 28, 2020, 07:35:26 pm »
 I installed the  float switch

If you are OK with electrics then you can use a relay triggered by float switch to shutoff pump.

I'm guessing that switch also needs to be mounted vertically on the pump outlet like the others do.
Could have to find some way of mounting the pump to accommodate this.

What relay would you use Ched?

The float switch will probably use 12v and the pump is 240v.

IF you are OK with mains electrics then something like this https://amzn.to/3pJV031
The coil is a 12v DC one so 12v  float switch can control relay and the motor contacts are rated at 10A 240vAC.
Please only do this if you are confident in working safely with 240vAC.
