float switch failure

Show me how you have them hooked up currently and I can show you how to add the second switch to best match your setup...

 

I didn't know float switches could take 120v! That's pretty cool

 

Not a safe practice.

 

Okay, that's what I thought! I'd be scared to have that sitting in my tank with 120+ volts.

 

Float switches should be wired to a relay. The relay should be what handles 120 AC.

 

What is the big deal? You have heaters and powerheads and pumps in your tank that are 120VAC...

...although I will need to see proof that the switches you are using are rated for 120V use before we proceed...

What switches are you using?

 

How do you hang the float switch??

 

i have a float switch holder bought from premium aquatics....... iv been using this since like 6 months now, no issues yet.... ind of the day they are just switches...... i saw the video on youtube of mr.saltwatertank and many more.... they all did the same......

 

1 more thing, as im from india, here its 220v 50hz, so im also using a converter as im using aqualifter pump......
