I’m tired of lugging buckets and ATO containers back and forth. I have been wanting to do an AWC system for awhile. I will be controlling all with the a reefpi. I don’t really want to do continuos water changes but rather push a button. ATO is disabled, 5 gallons is evacuated, then 5 gallons is refilled, ATO is re enabled. Easy enough to do control wise but I’m having a hard time selecting pumps. Looking for ideas on pumps that are budget friendly and can move 1/2-1 gpm 12 feet horizontal using 1/4” hardline.
Also my RO is in a brute can about 4 feet higher than the sump. If I tap it and run a line with a solenoid to the sump I can have continues ATO. But my concern is a sticking solenoid. Are there any mechanical float switches that do not require higher pressure to operate correctly? Or would I need to use the high pressure RODI output?
