I have been having problems with my ATO set up since setting up my aquarium 2 months ago. I'm currently using an Aqua Lifter plugged into a ReefKeeper Lite. I have the Aqua Lifter mounted on the back of my sump area hanging from a screw to be about 10" higher than both the return area water level and the ATO supply (5 gallon container). I have 2 Digital Aquatics float switches, one at a max level and then one that kicks on when the water level is too low. I'm not currently using the max level switch, only the primary. I have the RKL set up for an alarm to kick in when the water level is below the switch, and it does that fine. The problem comes when the water level has gone up to the appropriate level, above the float switch. The RKL display says that the Aqua Lifter is off, but the pump continues to pump until the supply line in the 5 gallon container is above the water level, then it will just stay on and continue dry pumping. Whenever I unplug the power cord, it stops, and I can plug it back in and it won't continue trying to pump until the switch is tripped again.
I've tried moving the slot that it is plugged in and unplugging the actual SL unit, but neither has worked. Do I have a faulty Aqua Lifter?
