Abstract: A liquid sensing switch comprising an upper sensor plate linked to electronics, a lower sensor plate linked to the electronics, and a ground linked to the electronics, wherein a pump is activated when a liquid level rises above a position of the lower sensor plate and above a position of the upper sensor plate, causing a current to pass between the two sensor plates.
