Waterproof footswitch for pump

[Matt3989]

Okay, so I'm looking for a maintained action for switch for my pump. Since, for some reason or another the brewing space always tends to end up wet, I need something waterproof. What I've been searching for is basically a switch in a nema 4 enclosure, but I can't find anything less than $150.

Marine switches would work great too, but everything I see for that is for trolling motors, so they are momentary and not maintained.

I'm basically just hoping someone on here sees the title and says "oh hey, this is what I use..."

What about this. Not "waterproof" but "weatherproof". Just use standard wall switch and weatherproof box.

I just love helping my fellow brewers and one of my favorite suppliers:

Hang the outlet up off the floor.

I run these and they work well. I put a drop of my step daughters nail polish on each so I know which is which, but it's still not a very fluid process http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DF2QDK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

That being said they are not waterproof and I like that footswitch 10mm linked a lot better.

Wow, thanks a lot guys, I wasn't expecting to get much feedback, the DIY section is not as widely browsed as some of the other sections.

I definitely like the lectricair solution, I'll probably put an order in for one of those when I get home from work.
