[RE-wrenches] Grundfos SQ Flex Float Switch

[Mark Dickson]

We just use the inexpensive 18/2 sprinkler wire found just about anywhere
for runs up to 2000' -- over that, go with the shielded.  

Another way to go about super long runs might be to use a radio transmitted
float switch.  Have yet to try it, but they look nice and as I recall only a
couple hundred bucks or so.

Hiya Kirpal,

They are just signal wires from the CU200.

Cheers, Bob-O

Hi All.....I can't find it in any of the manuals for grundfos.....does
anyone know if the wiring to the float switch carries current or not.  The
float switch has 3 #14AWG wires.......I need to add about 700 feet of wire
from the CU 200 controller to the storage tank.....I want to use
#18AWG......is this okay?  most float switches I have used do not carry
current they are simply signal wires and can use very small gauge for long
distance.....
Anyone know off the top of their head?
Thanks....
