Has anyone here had any experience using the Apex Breakout Box for float switches?

I just barely learned about this feature.  The box is pretty cheap, but can you explain to me the basics of how this works?  I'm actually having a hard time finding information on it and how to do it. I've noticed that people will get 3 or 4 sensors to hook it up.  1 for high, average and low water level and 1 for the over flows if they are doing herbie's.  Possibly link me to the float valves you used as well?  I was going to PM you, but I figured there might be someone else that may want to see how this works.

I just used 2 float switches from autotopoff.com. The second as a back up. I have seen people hook up a door bell switch into one of the other 4 slots for a program for running there salt mixing pump for so long after adding salt to the mixing station. You can also use a virtual outlet to limit how long your ato pump will run at once.
