I have the Double Switch controller Sump mount system from autotopoff.com and its been running almost a year w/o problems. It's very simple in design and very reliable.

You can see on the right side of my sump in this old pic i have.

Tunze Osmolator. Mine has been running flawless for over two years. Easy to setup and has an optical sensor for the water level.

Replacement pumps are only $20 and the sensor just needs a couple hour vinegar bath every four months or so.

If you want to spend some cheddar, litermeter 3 is top notch.
