Wouldn't daves fix still work on a normal socket? Seeing as the middle pin would be blank on a normal socket and isn't connected to anything (well here's hoping).Thanks Dave. Unfortunately, in some units it may be just 1 socket that is causing the problem but as I said, there is no way to differentiate between the good and bad ones.
Absolutely. My comment was more due to the fact that even if it is only 1 socket that causes the issue, you will need to solder all 5 (unless you solder 1, test, solder the next, test, etc) rather than just the "faulty" socket.Wouldn't daves fix still work on a normal socket?

I was going to mention it earlier when you posted a pic of your original floats. I had the same floats as them originally and suffered the same consequence.... intermittent switching resulting in 60L ATO RO dumps into the DT. I replaced the floats with these ones and haven't had a problem since.I think I've got the ATO working properly, I found some better float switches at Jaycar, they were slightly more expensive but much more solid than the others I was using which seemed a bit flimsy.
I just made simple bracket out of leftover acrylic. Seems to be working a treat. (still very wary though)

Argh... dont i feel like an idiot now lol. I mistook rockerpellers? photo of the ebay ones with yellow wires for yours... my apologies.The one you just showed is the same brand as the ones I had trouble with. In fact, that is the one I still have as a cutoff in the RO tank.
The ones I got from Jaycar are much sturdier and the float works way better without catching.
