Gary,

 

Tell us more about whether you already have an automatic topoff of some sort, and if so, how your topoff is configured.

in series, one up, one down. that way top one breaks the circuit when water levels too high.

If you want redundant switches so that the water will shut off even if one of the switches fails, that should work. That is how mine are wired. But I am not exactly sure what you are doing either.

When you say, "one up, one down" do you mean one above the other? Because I have only ever seen them as both pointing down or thread up.

 

Here is where I bought my floats at and they have pretty good directions. - AquaHub
