Anyone have a recommendation for a float switch to trigger the bilge pump? The one I bought has a problem where it activates, but then once the water level goes down, the float switch doesn't shut the pump off even though it's in the down position. I have to manually push the float down some more to get the switch to cut power. Current float switch is from Walmart, and I should have looked up the reviews for it before purchasing. Float switches on Amazon seem to have a lot of complaints about them as well.
