I have a couple of those Groco air switches also... Worked great for more
than 8 years so far.
I think they are just a fill switch from a washing machine ... But a fair
price in any case since they seem to have a long lifespan.

I have something like this. These air pressure switches work very well and
don’t get gummed up as float switches often do.

Look at the Ultra Safety Systems bilge switch.

It is contained in a tube so nothing will hold it in the on position. Extremely
reliable switch.

Thanks all for your replies--I might need to tighten the packing gland or
replace the packing material.
My fear about leaving the auto bilge pump on is a result of a failed float
switch many moons ago:
