Level sensor problems

[GazzMan]

Increased it to 15 seconds maybe 45 minutes ago. Just now got a level alarm��
Going to increase to 30 seconds and hopefully it will work!

so good so far mate what's the latest?

Nothing so far. Working....but then again not sure until it goes without alarm for at least a week or so.
Not the way I intended to use it since I want the cup not to overflow.... But I will take it

This is what the described set up looks like

If you can push that thread piece at the top of the float switch up through the hole in the lid and hold it in place with a rubber grommet, that could buffer the vibration and still work as intended, ie, to shut of the skimmer before it overflows.

I have tried that. The piece is not long enough to reach that part. Gotta figure out another way
Thanks A LOT GazzMan.

I see the float switch sending a level alarm, but how will that shut off the skimmer? I ask because I bought a leakage detector and while it will send an alarm it won't turn anything off. I hope you get this to work so I can learn.

Skimmer is connected to powerbar. Under socket function for skimmer option "water level" and corresponding sensor... and that's it.

Thanks I'll try that with the leak detector and see if it works.
