ATK/PMUP question

[Bayareareefer18]

So I just hooked up my ATK this weekend and loving it so far.

This morning I heard the PMUP running longer than usual. I opened up my ATK reservoir and noticed the PMUP had stopped pumping even though water level was probably more than half way up the pump. Refilled and everything working fine

I would have expected the pump to continue pumping until level was near the intake at the bottom.

What is your guys experience on how low the pump will pump down until it stops?

It all depends on your programming....the pump itself has no safety shutoff.

Well it does if it runs for > 5 mins but what I am saying is I would expect it to pump down until it sucks air into the intake before it quits pumping. Was surprised to see the level at which the pump stopped pumping

Yeah, it all depends on your programming. I have had bad programming in the past and they plump up like a tomato and die a horrible death. If you post your code, I or someone else can take a look at it.

Not the coding that is the issue but thank you.

Just wondering if other's experience is the same as to the level in the res where the pump stops pumping (loses prime)
