Default High water power cut off?

We have a water softener and dehumidifier that drain in to the sump pump. �
The sump pump output pipe froze, causing the discharge from the softener
regeneration to back up into the basement. �I'm looking for a high water
alarm that can cut the power to these devices in case something happens
again.

Does anyone know of such a thing?

your better off with a back up sump pump assuming your sump is also a
underground drain.

you might stop the softener just to get flooded anyway...........

it would be easy to fabricate a sump pump switch that would detect
high water and turn off the softener... if you cant buy one
