DaveC,
Yeah, the float is supposed to float. Mine didn't drown yet.
I guess if yours doesn't float, you've got a hole in it.
Probably would help if you get the water out of the float,
and reseal the hole. I would try to use some abs or pvc cement,
the stuff used in house plastic plumbing (pvc, cpvc or abs pipes).
