Would you please clarify what you are saying here? I'm not sure what
you are replying to.

Are you warning me that this switch could not possibly work reliably
because it is so cheap?

The case appears to be well sealed and a solid block of epoxy but
there is a warning to be sure it is installed so that the pump starts
before the case is immersed or it will "Become contaminated". There
are also instructions to keep soap film off the case and clean it. I
assume this has something to do with changing the capacitance.

My concern at this point would be what would happen if the batteries
went dead and you returned to the boat to find water covering the
switches. Would the bilge pumps start when you restored power? The
switches do have a manual over ride connection which I will install to
cover this eventuality.

We are in the level measuring business.

We provide a 100% performance guarantee with every instrument.

To provide that kind of application guarantee requires about a
$1,000 USD investment for a bilge switch in a boat.

SFWIW, anything less and you are kidding yourself.
