DIY ATO ideas

[JPergamo]

Looking for some ideas for a future ATO setup with my 75 gallon sump. Sump will be divided into standard 3 compartments, skimmer/fuge/ bubtrap-return chamber. I have a decent amount of room above the sump, it is plumbed to the basement. Thanks!!

You can do a gravity fed ATO with a float valve. I know a guy on another forum who has run a setup like that for years and swears by it.

Would the setup be similar to a toilet bowl? I'm trying to picture how I could make it work.

This is great thanks a million. I have to see if my pinnacle + from years back has the auto shutoff for the waste water. It's been too long and there is so much to remember and re -learn.
