blueether Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I have just moved the 430L back inside after having the carpets done the other month so I thought is was a good time to setup a auto shutoff for when filling the back up during a w/c setup: 12v solenoid 1/2 inch garden hose (tap fitting) 20mm hansen female/female 90deg 20mm hansen male/barb 450mm of 20mm black alkathene (too many holes, only really needed them in the last 100-150mm) 15mm male bung Viedo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 nice work. is the switch boyant enough to shut off with the water level or is there a float that will be attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The switch is a little float switch and worked fine, I even managed to get it at the right level first time os that the water is above the level of the bottom edge of the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Cool little gadget, but I think I'd rather just watch it while its filling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Cool little gadget, but I think I'd rather just watch it while its filling... I'd also rather watch the tank while it's filling. That's the direct cause of the many overflows over the years when I stop paying attention. Protip: Don't play video games while the tank is filling.

I have over flowed the tank by doing just that :sick: This way there is a safety for the new carpet and my kneck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
