Float Switch from AFM

[reefnut]

I just got in a power head float control switch from AFM. I hooked it up to a light to do some testing and the switch sticks on the ON position. A good flick and it will go off. Anyone else have these switches?

Ok, I'm getting really tired of admitting this but once again... I'm an idiot.
The Maximum Switching Rate is 20W. The light I was using to test it was 150w. Max 20 @ 150w = no worky
Working great now

golfish, I'm not sure what you mean with the needle valve. It is being used for top off.

So if I'm understanding you... I keep the float switch and power head but run the water through a valve so the flow is reduced just enough the maintain the water level. Right?

I have a float valve that I got with my RO/DI unit. The float valve stops the flow of water instead of turning the pump on & off. Would that be a better option?

Ok, the water is now at a drip. It will out run the evaporation if the float switch fails but not by much.
Thanks for the heads up...
