    I would get one with a magnetic mount.

    If all you want is a notification, just add this to your email

    If SwitchName CLOSED Then ON


    Assuming you orient it so that it shows CLOSED when water level is low.

    That one is meant to be drilled through the side of a container. You want something like this
