But the negative downside is that the float does not turn on automatically, because you do not him Can be individually adjusted. (Height) .. I still lift the float, so he pumps off, and a few times a Tag..Ausschalten is not Proplem which he then makes its own. My conclusion, one would have to float a so, or to grow, which operates the pump in small shafts. Now I've ordered a new pump from Gardena, which float can be adjusted so that it pumps out even in small ducts the water ..
