Hi All,
I am in need of some assistance with my ATO. I have a IM Nuvo 40 AIO which has been setup and running for just over a year. Recently my Toms Aquatic lift pump has been failing occasionally. My ATO bucket sits inside the stand with the pump just above the bucket. I believe I am running into a head pressure issue. When the feed and return lines are close to the same height the water flows without issue. However, as the height of the return line goes up, the flow slowly decreases until it is just a few drops. Over time the few drops just stop and top off just stops.
I don't mind replacing the pump, but I am having issues finding a small pump that can basically pump to a height of 55" (the top of the tank). I don't really want to replace the whole setup as the Tsunami controller has been flawless.
Ideas, recommendations?
Thanks much!
