Review on 💦 USA-Made HydroCheck HC8000T: Advanced Timed Sump Pump Controller by Alex Britton

The device was exactly what I needed, but I missed the part about the controller being inside and not in the water. It didn't take long to invent a waterproof box of Home Depot parts. I've tried 3 different float switches in 5 years, but all of them often wouldn't turn on and off. So far this block is working great. Note. The sensor block has two wires that I ran through the conduit to get to the outer pan. As a result, I needed ground for water in the swamp to activate the sensor. I solved this problem by driving a 3/8" x 36" threaded rod into the dirt next to the sump and then running bare solid copper wire from the rod into the water at the bottom of the sump.
