Great video

Thanks!

If the new float is just a switch, it doesn't consume power, it just switches it. If this is the case, you have misunderstood the Amp rating. The higher current, 13 Amp float will "switch" more current than the 5-Amp unit you bought. Therefore, the 13-Amp unit is better as it will work with a wider range of panels. If the circuits in your panel that are switched by the float are under 5-Amps, then the float you got is fine but it would not be safe in a panel that needs to have more than 5-Amps switched. The 5-Amp float will likely have smaller gauge wires and lighter switch contacts and usually be cheaper to manufacture than the heavier 13-Amp unit.

looking for voltage or correct voltage , reference hot/colored wires to the white neutral . I don't know much about this , been doing this since was 14

Great Job, thanks for taking the time to show us all the troubleshooting. One question.....Is that your Big Toe peeking out your shoe at 15 minutes and 19 seconds? 🤣

You should have installed shrink tube around that connection inside that tank. you will be doing that again once that moisture creeps inside that tape even though you use sealed wire nuts. Extra protection with shrink tube.

[@kevinpolhemus6942]

what brand was the control ?

[@ourv9603]

Just like god intended. !

[@picker63028]

They make a better water sealing wire nut. You should use them.

YEAHAA :)

Its 120V and 240V not 110 and 220. That is old school nicknames from the old days.

[@kevinpolhemus6942]

don't cut the wire in the pit call a professional that has a meg ohm meter .to see if float and cable are faulted or not. with out destroying the cable's integrity
