Float Switch Bracket Installation (Gen1 & 2 Only)

This is for the Clarisea Gen1 and Gen2 Only

PreviousInstalling the SK Plates onto the Clarisea SK5000:NextFloat Switch Bracket Installation (SK5000 Gen3 Only)

Last updated 4 months ago

This installation is for the Clarisea Gen1 and Gen2 Only! The SK5000 V3 will only use a different float switch bracket, provided by Synergy Reef.

Float Switch Bracket Installation:

Gen1 and Gen2 Float Switch Brackets use a small plastic bolt and nut to attach to the clarisea SK5000. If you do not have this type of float switch then you probably have a Gen3.

Before installing the SK5000 Gen1 or Gen2 into the sump you must first install the Float Switch Bracket. The factory float switch bracket included with the Clarisea SK5000 unit will NOT be used with our sump, since it is too short. You will receive a Float Switch bracket with your sump order from us. If you ordered before October 2021, You will get 2 Gen1/Gen2 brackets (75mm and 100mm) per SK plate ordered. Orders after October 2021 will only get 1 Gen3 bracket (100mm) per plate ordered. If you need Gen1 or Gen2 brackets you will need to purchase then from us as we no longer include them with the sump. The brackets will determine when your roller mat advances. The stock float switch bracket will not function properly. The new float switch bracket will allow for the roll to advance properly. There are a lot of factors that influence how much and how fast the roll will advance, such as water level in the sump, GPH Flow thru your sump and sediment levels in your system, ect. Below is a photo of our float switch bracket installed in the Clarisea SK5000 Gen2.
