A while back AutoAqua made an outlet with a sensor on it that would cut power to a device (presumably the ATO pump) if the water level reached that sensor. Looks like they no longer make them. The reviews were always mixed any way.

Is there anything currently available that isn't too far from plug and play other than buying a Neptune sensor and FMM module. Ideally, I like to find something that is pretty much the same as the AutoAqua was.

They have washing machine water sensors that cut power when they sense water.

Thanks, but I need a high-level sensor more than a leak detection. Something that will turn the ATO outlet off if the water goes any higher than what my ATO limit is set to. I always consider something going wrong and my ATO not shutting off. I need to catch it before it's on the floor

Yes.. that will do exactly that. Cuts power when it senses water. You can mount it however you Wish.

Plug and play option.

I thought most ATO units have high level sensors as part of the kit? My tunze, kamoer and JBJ units all have high level sensors.
Both my Tunze and my AutoAqua do have a second sensor built into them but I've seen stories where (for whatever reason) the pump runs until the reservoir is empty. I was just looking for another layer or redundancy.
