KENT - float switch - where to drill the hole
I have purchased a float switch for my RO output tank.
I need to drill a hole to scew it to the wall... What is the relationship of the hole hight to the water surface? I could experiment with it, but I guess you guys have it already figured out if you use this switch. So - is the hole above or below the water surface and if so, what is the exact distance?

KENT - float switch - where to drill the hole
Because the Kent float switch is adjustable (by twisting the small black knob),
just eyeball it. If you miss, you can adjust the switch down to the next setting. I didn't install my brand new one. I had this bad feeling it would come back to haunt me and sold it to another reefer that demanded it. grin Marc Pszemol wrote: I have purchased a float switch for my RO output tank.

Right, I have received shipment and I noticed the knob. Interesting design :-))) The hole can be way above the water line, so it does not need to be water tight.

True, unless you sump ever fills up higher than typical, during a power outage /
maintenance. Marc Pszemol wrote: "Marc Levenson" wrote in message ... Because the Kent float switch is adjustable (by twisting the small black knob), just eyeball it.

Agree... I did not think about it.
p.s. have you received my e-mail? I did not receive your reply. "Marc Levenson" wrote in message ... True, unless you sump ever fills up higher than typical, during a power outage / maintenance.

KENT - float switch - where to drill the hole
I use the Kent and have found it to great although it needs to be cleaned
every 6 months or so if you are using additives in your ro water. the hole size was 14mm and from the centre of the hole to the water surface it is 20mm and that's with the float adjustment set in the middle.

Disregard, as I was giving details about the Kent Float RO inlet valve which
you would use if your RO was higher than your sump there by doing away with pumps etc. Regards Tony "Pszemol" wrote in message ... I have purchased a float switch for my RO output tank.
