so, for a flood? or high water in your sump? there is a difference... but anyways, this is designed more for dishwashers and washing machines, but it does turn the outlet off if water is detected, an you have to hit a reset button to start the outlet back up.
IF you mean high water in your sump, then maybe its a design flaw that could be fixed? your sump should be able to handle all the water flowing thru the pipes when the power is shut off and everything trickles back to the sump. if not, then some redesign should be in order..
or if you mean that the tank might overflow when power goes out, then your hang on overflow should be investigated. the siphon should never break, if it does, its designed poorly, or isn't setup right.
would love to help, but need more info please :)
It's not clear to me how I would use that float switch. I guess the 25mm refers to the diameter, but the standpipe is about 2" wide and the drain hose from the washer is just smaller than that; there is no room for anything else.
I could use a relay like the one you linked with a separate moisture sensor device, but I will probably just get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00988NOV2.
