I bought a couple float switches from Bstoner a while back and now putting them to use. I made up my acrylic rack to hold the switches this past week and will hook it all up tomorrow.
Grouper's DIY top off...thanks Bstoner

I think it comes from here. But it doesn't just come out of the ground like that. Not out of my well anyway.

I believe their original plant was in Z-hills, FL. There are a few springs in the area so I would imagine they pull the water from one of them, not sure which one though.

Here is what I found online, its a little off the original purpose of the thread but hey at least I can answer a question haha:
"Meanwhile, Zephyrhills' famed spring water doesn't come from Zephyrhills, although some of it is bottled there. For its Zephyrhills and Deer Park brands, Nestle Waters pumps from four springs in various parts of Florida and also buys water from dealers."

Hey GG,
I bought the same two top off floats from Boston but haven't used them. Can you further explain the set up or provide more pics?

I'll post more pics when I get the water tub and everything set up. The bottom float is for sump level and top is a back-up safety in case the bottom one sticks. Also I don't like the pump I got at home depot. It was $25 and I can get a Tunze ATO pump for $19 at my LFS. The depot pump has a 1/2" ID outlet where the Tunze is like 1/4".
I made the acrylic rack and can make you one if you need one. I just need dimensions from the top of sump to desired waterline, how thick the sump material is, and $20.
