This bracketis made of acrylic and is intended to be used in a standard bucket commonlyavailable in hardware stores. It enablesup to three horizontal upper float level switches to become adjustable. This adjustabilityallows you to water seedlings which require a high water level to order to reachthe roots. Later when the roots arelower in the buckets, the float switches can be lowered to conserve nutrients. This bracket also eliminates the hassle ofdealing with float switch placement around the various outer ridges that appearon all standard buckets. See class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;">

Two holesare drilled into the bucket. The bracketis mounted to the bucket with two nylon screws and waterproofed somewhat withsurgical tubing washers. (In theory thewater level should not reach the screw level because the switches arelower). The bracket should be mounted ½”below the rim to allow for the lid and approximately above the lower floatswitches. A 7/16” hole should be drilled¾” below the rim to run the wires through to the controller box. Snap ties are placed on both sides of the bucket as a tension stop. All nylon screws, surgical tubing washers, snap ties,and grommet, areprovided. See the pictures formore information.

This listingdoes NOT include Horizontal Float Switches, it is only for the bracketitself. FLOAT SWITCHES ARE SHOWN IN THEPICTURES ONLY FOR ILLUSTRATION. Horizontalfloat switches are available on aquahub, but can be found on forsubstantially less, by searching on “horizontal float switches”. This bracket is designed to work with both the horizontalfloat switches purchased from U.S. sellers or horizontal float switchespurchased from China/Taiwan.

Various colors of acrylic will be used (clear, bronze).
