    That pump will work, not sure if its 12 or 240?

    Theres 2 level/float switches that both go to a relay. The pump goes to the relay too. All 12v.

    Dont like 240v unnecessarily near water in grow room

    Sounds complicated but i can show you piece of piss

    Yeah will work fine, just dont run the pump dry so best you use a bigger sump


    Fyi

    The float switches are 3 or 4 quid
    The relay about same
