I dont recall the brand but I currently have a standard rule exposed float switch forward, and a electronic device aft. it is basically a square brown device approx 1" wide with two cirlces, I am told it uses magnets to sense the water.. "so far, so good"...

It has always been an issue(floats in general), and wanted to know if there is a "bullet proof" float switch out there?

My boat has three Rule bilges with the white paddle looking float switches. Seems to work really well.

What activates it?(other than water) meaning if it doesn have mercury?
