Gravity feed switch

I have the  paddle float switch with the ball in the tinaco for turning on the water pump when the water is low. This switch needs to be replaced about every 2 years because they get waterlogged or any other reason possible. My question is there a better switch  or way to send the turn on and off message to the pump?
Thanks Bill

Don't know what you have but mine look like these. Sealed plastic

Me, too, and at least 5 years old.

That is what mine looks like. I have put in two in the last 3 years. Something is not right so I had better look past the switch. Must be something else causing the problem.
Thanks Bill

Probably getting fried from voltage spikes or a ground fault. Maybe try putting a regulator in that circuit?

A switch either works or it doesn't .... so what else could it be.

Mine are disconnected because they would be used so seldom I want to know my pump is not frozen/stuck or lost prime. I can plug the pump into AUTO or MANUAL so it's mostly unplugged
