Welcome back Nick, our wrenches community is by far the last remaining bastion of "open sourced knowledge" .. I feel so much love and appreciation for all of you!

<div class="">I was on Wrenches from 2000-2010 but then when I left the business of my previous employer working for Jon Hill at Sierra Solar Systems I never took the time to rejoin. I thought I had changed my email a couple times but apparently not successfully.
Too much time out in the field but never stopped thinking about all of you!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks a bunch for letting me know about the RPS solution. After I had posted that inquiry last week I did do a little more searching but definitely seems like a lot of them either have range issues or cost hurdles. Heading back to the site this
week to confirm line of site for the RPS solution. Still waiting on a call back from them about pricing.</div>

<div class="">Happy 2021, Nick</div>

Nice to see your name here - Wrenches continues to be a fabulous resource - some of us have been here close to 25 years!<br class="">
<br class="">
So check out: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnhUGGjv5WM" class="">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnhUGGjv5WM</a><br class="">

I don't have direct experience with this wireless sensor but it looks solid: <a href="https://www.rpssolarpumps.com/" class="">

<br class="">
A google search reveals some others that look less expensive so take a look.<br class="">

</a>Hope that helps,<br class="">

<div class="">Greetings Wrenches,<br class="">
<br class="">
I\u2019ve mostly been trying to get away from pumping systems but decided to take on a small solar direct Grundfos system for a friend\u2019s mother that lives on my road. The well and ideal spot for the array sits about 1000\u2019 away from the tanks and it\u2019s the typical
scenario of switching over an existing setup where all the plumbing lines have been buried for many years so there is no opportunity to bury a conduit or cable for the float switch conductors. I\u2019m aware of the reverse action pressure switch strategy but do
not want to pressure the fill lines for multiple reasons. Also, the existing float switch wires do not run all the way to the well head either even if I did want to rework those and invert the logic with another relay elsewhere. For obvious reasons I can\u2019t
reassign the old power conductors to the pump either since I need to keep those in place to use with the IO101 as backup.<br class="">
<br class="">
I\u2019ve installed many dozens of these systems over the years and have always found a way around it but this job really begs for some sort of wireless solution. I\u2019ve been off the Wrenches list for 10 years now so there are many threads I\u2019ve not seen and figured
maybe the group has come up with a solution strategy for these scenarios by now? Obviously the age of Wifi, Bluetooth etc has brought us many wireless solutions that did not exist years ago so I\u2019m hopeful we now have an answer to these headaches? Even if I
needed to add a small battery system to power it.<br class="">
<br class="">
Also just want to say how much I appreciate this list. I rejoined a few weeks ago after 10 years off of it and it is so great to see all the familiar technicians here. Thank you to Michael and all of you, new and old, for being part of the good fight to strive
for quality and integrity in this passion we all share. The planet needs us more than ever and I feel fortunate for every one of you. This list is an incredible resource!<br class="">
<br class="">
Hope all of you have a great last few hours of 2020 and a prosperous 2021! <br class="">
