Rob,
Yah...I'd appreciate seeing what it looks like and/or the part/manufacturer
number and source. Thanks!

| I picked up the small "float" switch from Ebay last week for less than
| $16 (includes shipping).  It's a normally closed design that is
| supposed to be wired into the thermostat, so that if the float rises,
| the circuit is broken, shutting down the AC unit.  However, like you, I
| didn't want to install it that way, but just want to be notified that
| water is leaking into the secondary "back up" drain pan.  So, I put it
| on a wireless zone on my panel.
|
| If you're interested in more details about the switch or the Ebay link,
| let me know, and I'll forward the information to you.

| Regards,
|
