Not to hijack this thread, but I need an electronics expert opinion too. I am trying to make a water sensing alarm for my veg oil filter. Here is a diagram that I drew up. What do you think? The water that collects in the filter will act as a switch. It has a resistance of about 20 K ohm. Will I still need R1 or will the resistance from the fluid be good enough? Thanks
