Float Switch Bracket for 5 Gallon Bucket

thingiverse

This is a simple bracket designed to easily clamp onto the edge of a standard 5-gallon bucket, holding a float switch that automatically shuts down the reverse osmosis (RO) system used for collecting maple sap. The bracket requires minimal assembly, involving only the addition of a 1/4-20 screw to fine-tune the fit to your specific bucket. A piece of 5/16-inch maple sap tubing is press-fit into the bracket, allowing the water level in the bucket to be adjusted as needed. The float switch used in this setup is the Anndason 6 Pieces Plastic PP Float Switch Fish Tank Liquid Water Level Sensor, Model DP3500, which can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07211T6Y6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_38llCbEG6YXQR.
