I am planning on building one for myself.
Just wondering if anyone else is interested in one as well.  It will be just as easy to make multiples as it is to make one.
They are $40 on the neptune site.  Im hoping to do them for half that or less.  Will be sourcing materials this week.

Damn I think I paid full price, even though, yeah they looked pretty easy to make.  I highly suggest people get one if they have an apex, they work really well.

I highly suggest wiring switches to by pass the float switches.  Use the three position switches:) you then have 5 button/ switches that you can set to either run the float switch, manual off and manual on.  So your unused input can be programmed as control switches.  One of mine turns the skimmer off.. Another turns off my return. Another is wired to a float switch ad an overflow safety. 

Means an extra buck or two per switch but it was one of the smarter things I did.
