    ATO Improvement

    Hello, I am trying to think of a way to provide another failsafe for my ATO on my tanks and the only idea I could think of is to use a float switch wired inline with the pump wiring. Therefore, if the float switch is activated, the ato pump will not be able to pump water into the tank because...

    Double Float Switch Example

    I thought I would share my double float switch setup. I have two float switches wired in series to a common inlet. The primary float switch sits in the water. When water evaporates, the buoy sinks, and it triggers the ATO. This is normal operation. The secondary float switch sits above the...

    How would you lower a float switch in your skimmer cup?

    By the time the water level reaches the switch, there's already stuff spilling through the holes in the top. Probably wouldn't be a big deal if I just emptied the thing on a regular basis ;) Anyway, I imagine there is a simple way to do this but my brain is broken and I thought I'd ask here...

    Float/water sensor mounted in return pipe?

    So I love the apex flow monitoring kit, but I don't need anything that complex. Has anyone mounted a T or at on their return pipe and installed a photo eye water sensor, float switch, pressure switch. The goal would be to connect it to a break out box and set it to email me if the return pumps...

    Float switch

    I am looking for a high quality float switch to use with my controller to control my ato. I currently have a cheap one in use but it continuously gets stuck in the closed position and doesn't add top off water. I am looking to replace it and would appreciate any suggestions on which float switch...
