Auto top up system

Hey guys

I have been saying i will post on this for a while now. I ran it for a week and no problems.
Took it apart and redid it to explain to you all.

What you will need:

Float switch (You will get it off ebay. Got mine for $3.49 incl shipping, took 2 weeks i think)
Suction cup with clip (comes with heaters)
Pump (any size that can pump to the height you need it to)
Insulation tape (splicing kit will be the safer option)
Tubing for pump (size depends on pump)
Tubing for suction cup clip (depends on size)
Large bucket or spare tank

If using on a tank with a sump obviously thats where you will place this, mine is in the last chamber.


Just what everything looks like that you will need (excluding the suction cup)

Close up on float switch

Joining of wires. Float switch only comes with 2 wires. Connection must be on the same wire. either live or neutral will work.

If using insulation tape make sure you seal it well.

You get horizontal ones as well. I dont so this is how i did it.
Used a piece of tubing, sliced down the middle and secured it so only the little float moves and that it can get stuck against the sump or tubing


For some reason it won't let me add the other pic.

I will try take a video while its working.

Hope you understand. Any questions please ask:blink1:
