    Not enough to answer question, trick question

    It could be on, level on its way down or off, on its way up

    That latch could be energised

    Looking good lads, i told the local hydro what i was after and it came in about £40 give or take

    I dont have a pump, gravity does all the work for me into a bucket

    So much easier than handballing it about!

    Hey gardro . Instead of using seperate floats on submersible pumps . They have automatic condensate pumps with an internal cistern like this below . Buying seperate can cost alot more i certain cases and adjustin floatz can be a hassle .

    Im setting up an auto feed to waste system after march break

    Ill post it in here if ya dont mind . Just to give peeps a different perspective on a diff setup .

    Will consist of a large 4x4 tray made out of sheet metal lifted off floor approx 3-4" with a bottom drain direct to this type of auto pump

    Seen those on inverter AC units. It's the same apart from the pump is a annular / kidney style. Does it mention flow rate? The pump I have does 200L per hour

    The DIY pump box can costs sub £10

    I agree it can seem a bit messy but the DIY allows you to tune the heights of the floats to correspond with the water level found across all the pots and pipework.
