[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 455574, member: 22374"] Good point, and an easy fix. Change the manual bypass switch with one that is lit, then only when the backup float switch is working will the switch light up. As a side benefit this will show whether or not the fuse is intact when EITHER the internal float or backup float activate. A blown fuse / circuit breaker or wiring problem will not turn on the light. One can go nuts with preemptive fixes on what if scenarios, but nothing takes the place of either a mental or written pre-launch checklist. At my age, I'm SERIOUSLY considering writing one up and having it laminated :-) [/QUOTE]
