I built the attached wiring schematic and it seems to be working as planned (no field test yet), except for one small problem.
For the case where the pump button is in NO position which means that the Hot from the single plug is running through the fuse, through the NO on the Pump button, and into the float button....If the float button is in NO position, the float switch determines whether the double plug gets power or not. So far, all good.
When the float button is in NC position. It is supposed to just be a pass through for the HOT into the double plug. It IS doing that and the float switch has no impact on the powering of the double plug. Still all good.
Here is the odd side effect...the float button light is on even when it is in NC position. It does an odd clicking noise and flashing on/off when the float switch is closed and just solid light on when the float switch is open.
The float button light is only supposed to be powered by the NO side of the float button. Could the power be going from the NC into the double plug and then backwards through the mechanical relay and into the NO output of the float button (which powers the float button light)? If so, any recommendations for how to block that?
Thx in advance,
Swan
