Here you have the entire load going through the lower float switch, and
I was hoping to avoid that. One of the advantages of the original
circuit was that the lower switch was not exposed to the sparking that
would cause.



Won't matter. You'll use a Rule float switch that has a mercury switch in
it so it won't ever pit up or corrode. Mine never has....

There's not that much current, only 4-5A, anyways.
