Thanks Haan & Denis for the switch suggestions.

Wire up your pump straight to your 12V plugpack and your pump should run. Then you cut one of the two wires from the plug pack and insert your switch between the two ends you cut.
Now if your switch is working the pump should switch off and on every time you move the float ring up and down. If it doesn't then it's probably a dud you can't do anything about.
Yep, done this, doesn't do anything. Once it turns itself on, it's stuck on for a random period of time until it clicks itself off. It turns on every time the magnet in the switch flicks on, but it's sticky.

I notice yours doesn't seem to have as long a shaft as mine. Pull the plastic circlip off and see if having more travel helps. Then inspect the inside of the float and you should see the dark ring of the magnet I think. On mine that ring is not centered, if yours is the same maybe the float ring was put on upside down.
Yep, tried this. I think you're right. We have a dud.

I've already done the auto turn for the E1, much easier than I anticipated. 20-30 minutes tops.
Swift job. Our incubator is loaded with the first two trays of the season. The auto turn is working beautifully, but as you know, it took us a lot longer than 20-30 minutes. We are very pleased with it though, although it's only taken a third of the load so far.
