This sensor plugs into your FMM and, using reflected infrared light, will signal your Apex when it changes state from being wet to dry or dry to wet. This sensor can be used for constructing your own ATO (auto-top-off), as a high-level warning sensor in your sump, water storage level sensor, and much more. The sensors can be mounted on any type of reservoir that has up to 1/4" thick walls.
Compatible with Neptune FMM Module
Magnet mounts to walls up to 1/4" thick
Can be mounted vertical or horizontal
Neptune Systems why oh why didn't you use stronger magnets? My sump walls are 3/8" thick. I'm assuming the magnets are too weak for this thickness?
Anyone have any mods for thicker walled sumps? I'm not really keen on drilling the sump.
I do have some magnets I could use on the outside.

These great magnets are coated with a durable layer of plastic. The 1/2" x 1/4" dimensions are the finished dimensions of the plastic coating. These discs can be slammed together many times without damage. They won't mark or scratch surfaces they come in contact with. They are also completely weatherproof. Please note: Slight color variation may occur from order to order.
