  So a while ago I designed my own with a little cistern float and a broken circuit that will connect when the water gets too low. This was flawed in that the circuit connectors were exposed and it malfunctioned. So I built a new one with better parts. Check it!
  
  Parts List
  
  
  
  Mounting Bracket: Measure 25mm off one side
  
  
  
  Bent Bracket: Place in oven to soften PVC to bend
  
  
  
  Drill Hole: Drill Hole for attachment of float switch
  
  
  
  Float Switch: Screw Float switch to bracket
  
  
  
  Wiring: Split Wiring and connect into strip connector
  
  
  
  Neaten Wiring: Wrap wiring with insulation tape
  
  
  
  Mount ATO: Hang or Glue Bracket to Return Chamber of Sump
