Float switchs

I don't know, but you can try calling The Hidden Reef and Fish Factory, both are in bristol PA and have fairly large parts inventories from what I've seen.
 
they also have them for boats on bilge pumps,not shure if will work for ya,they have some real nice ones 18fisher
 
The hidden reef has them and they are either $70 or 80 bucks!! When I was there they only had the in-tank sensor and not the full system. I ordered a float switch from Ebay, $2.50 DIY and ran it to a Aqua Lifter dosing pump. Total cost for the DIY ATO was $28 LOL beats buying a $180 ATO system. Just my $.02

That's the type of switch I was looking for. I don't want the whole system just the small switch. Aqua hub wants 6.99 plus $9 to ship it. I plan on a simple system also. Just to hold me over til the upgrade. All the switches I saw on eBay were from china. I'll have to look again. Today. Thx

go online to autotopoff.com they are a company ive used for years and have the original float switch running on my tank for 4 years without a problem, you can get different types and dual switches for both exposed floats and consealed floats.. i am in no way affiliated with them, or get any kind of kick backs, i just really like their products and customer service.. their prices are very good too, shipping is fast as well! good luck

Never used their pumps. I use the dial.upper and lower float switches for sump mount. With the single solenoid. I have that hooked directly to my RO/DI output and to my sump. The quality is excellent. I've used the same float switch and solenoid for quite a few years. Never had any problems. the solenoid is a normally closed so if it looses power it closes the solenoid so it won't over fill. Also these are great for kalk users BC the electronic solenoid is spring loaded to ensure a closed seal. Where alot of the kalk overdoses come from float valves which are only held closed by gravity and water level. And if kalk buildup gets stuck it'll hold it open and cause a white out.
