Default Float switch

Does any one have any feed back on these float switches?

Do they work well? Are they fail safe? Any experience with them let me know.

Also does anyone know if any one in Calgary sells them?

Thanks Keith

I need a outlet that is triggered based on the float switch. So that is why i was looking at that one.

If you go with the J&L one, a snail guard never hurts...

I did find though that prior to the most recent RKE update, I could not run them on my controller. They "burnt" out after about 3 months. However, now with the new upgrade, plus my new head unit, they all work again.
