    Ive heard that the float switch burns out because of the amount of power used by the pump?

    i don't know why it would burn out?
    the float uses a reed switch and a magnet

    what would have made this real interesting would be if you had plugged the extension cord in before cutting on it.

    Highlights of this video:

    -Jake speaks demonic while measuring the back of the tank.
    -Jake's dad asks him OMGWTFBBQ when bending the acrylic.


    Nice work man. Looks good.
