water tank overflowing
water tank overflowing
(OP)
Problem solved on water tank overflowing. Water operator wants a system to remotely alert him when overflows occur.
Mercoids don't shutoff well pump sometimes especially at times of extreme temperature change. So he wants to be alerted overflows through his cell phone. thanx in advance waterdog1

Just depends on how "remote" remote is.
I note the date right now just turned to 1 April.

A slick pressure switch we've used on a couple projects is "ifm-efector Electronic Pressure Switch" which is basically a pressure transducer that will allow you to set your level electronically and not have to mess with a trial and error set screw. This switch is in the USA Bluebook and is under $400.
RE: water tank overflowing
Thought I'd mention it because the OP said "temperature extremes".
Using a better pressure switch won't help if the impulse line or the wetted internals of the switch are frozen.
