Yup - I did connect it to the reserve - good catch. Thanks Zombie and Damonbrodie - Seems so complicated but just starting with this and way overwhelmed at this point.

The only ones I was able to find similar to the one you have pictured in your first post all arrive by the Hong Kong Express..
Forgive my thickness here but how do them switches connect to the ground? non of them are connected to each other?

This kind of confused me but I think it doesn't apply to me. But just to make sure I'm not missing something I'll ask. I have two float switches on my bob. One for high level and one for low on the return pump area. They are both normally open, when the low switch is closed it will turn the pump off. When the high switch goes closed it turns the ato off. I have a tunze ato with its own switch this is more of a fail safe. Is this fine? So basically if something goes wrong the return and ato will continue to runThe reason the orientation is important is for failures. If/when a float switch fails, more likely than not it will fail in
the open (float sticks, wire breaks, contacts don't close, etc). In addition, when you disconnect the BB
from the Apex base module, all switches go to their OPEN state. So keep this in mind when you layout your
floats. You want the OPEN condition to trigger stopping something, like a pump. You don't want OPEN
to trigger a pump starting or you will have a nasty surprise some day.

That phrase in boldface red is the actual subject of this post.
Keep a very close eye on those. Cheap floats do not play nice with saltwater. A lot of them will corrode the top seal (if it even has one) and then leach copper in your tank. Much better to just spend the extra on Madison or similar brand name American saltwater rated floats that you know will last and are sealed properly. I have a set of Madison's going on 3 years that still work as well as the day I bought them .

BRS has them for 14.49 right now. Not sure if they have just gone up in price in 3 years or if BRS is just overcharging now.
