Wire in the wort

I don't understand why.

In the scenario of the low level switch, you will always have continuity (right probe in above drawing) when you are within your desired level. The circuit will open on a low level condition.

In the high level scenario you will never have continuity (left probe in above drawing) when you are within the desired level. The circuit will close on a high level condition.

Well, I see your point, but he would have to put some sort of insulator in between the right probe and the pot. Otherwise it might short out and he will loose his low limit. The best thing to do is probably some rigid probes (copper or best case - stainless) held away from the side of the pot by the plastic piece on the top of the diagram.

think the point is he wants to move from one vessel to another quickly

My question is this. Using solid core thhn copper wire will the pvc coating have any ill flavor affect in the finished product?

I thought this was the question?

I like the idea of going with all copper or stainless. I hadn't thought about that. It should work because continuity is continuity. I like the simplicity too. If I use copper tubing it should be rigid enough not to worry about cointact with side of the pot and it is a wort friendly metal.

Next I need to find a check vavle that opens easy enough for the march pump.

Cool guys, thanks for the ideas.
