As above
I have a skimmer that I'm using, which a mate had the same. His kept overflowing, mine hasnt yet to date but I would like to be able to control this so that it cant overflow.
Anyone got any ideas??
I have a profilux ex 2
Thanks

Hi
Is this level sensors in the sump, or the cup of the skimmer??
Many thanks

In the skimmer cup, so that when the level is to high it shuts the pump.

I have thought about that, but I dont really want to mod the cup.
Dont think I can do it without doing this
Would the sensor that works on the outside work??

I wouldn't think so, they require a clean surface to sense through and I am not sure they would work on a curved surface.

Antipodes is right -> contactless sensor will not work

Any updates on this? I have a skimmer that outputs into a container where a float switch is located. I want the float switch to turn off the skimmer when the container is full in case of a overflow. How can I do this?
I have the return pump as filter and the skimmer as programmable logic 3, where programmable logic 1 is delay on for 10 min after the return pump is activated and programmable logic 2 is due to maintenance. Prog logic 3 is for prog 1 AND 2.
