I haven't used this exact model, but I used one similar (I believe it was the older model of this one). It worked pretty good for a couple years.

I liked that it beeped when it couldn't get the water back to the fill line. Usually from an empty ATO Reservoir or pump problem.

It did die out after a couple years. I never really figured out what happened.

Currently I'm using the JBJ because it works with any pump, but hear really good things about Tunze and Ice Cap as well.

I use the old version of that
Useek Auto Top Off for Saltwater Aquarium Water ATO System for Both Reef and Fresh Tank - Green https://a.co/d/gIZLAKS

The new version looks very similar to the one you posted. Might be a rebrand with price markup. Consider this

MagTool Aquarium Auto Top Off System, Upgraded Version MT-Duetto2 Aquarium ATO with Dual Optical Sensor for Both Reef and Fresh Tanks https://a.co/d/iP9lpO8

My second link is the same as the one you posted, but less than half the price. Both are duetto2. Just different shell/brand but internals I believe are identical

Any time I see anyone asking for advice on ATO I will always pop in to recommend @AVAST Marine ATO pressure switch. I’ve had the same one for 10 years, from a BioCube 29 to a 700 gallon tank, it has always worked for me, has been (touches wood) bulletproof.

Just worth checking out.

It just squirts water into your sump so if you get a nice 10g or 20g reservoir tank you will probably have at least a week of top off. I use a 10g reservoir.
