One like this:
Has anybody built their own float switch holders?

Mine is flat on the back on both the inner and outer pieces, but otherwise similar.
Ok. Thanks. I'll keep looking but yeah, I think that might be a good route. I've also done a search on eBay for epoxy coated magnets. There seems to be plenty on there.
I bought some "epoxy coated" magnets once and they rusted through the coating. Decided that I'd go with ones built for aquariums.

Many will depending on the magnet material under the coating.
Ceramic magnets are the best choice.

I made this one with some scrap acrylic rod, ABS and 1/16" carbon fiber plate. Why carbon fiber you ask? Why not! Two each high and low for max redundancy. :up:

Maybe it's just me but I don't think I would trust a magnet with a float switch, I'd want something to clamp on. Im using the Hydor smart level and I glued the sensor mounts to acrylic walls in my sumps. I know you can easily movie once fused but I did the math and testing to make sure I knew the proper level/mount.
