Also if anyone here is using float valve check your elbow where float connects to arm. Every one of them ive seen have been metal screw. Serious design flaw. Eshopps all of them same elbow assembly.

yeah my tank is on an outside wall on the opposite side of the house of the garage. Running any kind of water lines would involve either routing pipes about 100+ft or drilling through walls and stairs and trying to hide it
For sure bro I know this set up is not for everyone. However if I had a big enough closet right behind tank I'd be seriously considering it.

I really wanna put one of these in my guest room closet. ((Shares a wall with the bathroom where my ATO is)) and then drill thru. That way I can have a 55g for salt or RO, whatever is necessaryHere's my ATO its filling as we speak.
All I have to do is hang float on sump push connect a line to float and bottom nipple on brute can and done.
Been set up on gravity feed for over a yr now and really has never failed me. Especially when power goes out.
All I have to do is make sure I clean the drip end at float every once in awhile so it doesn't clog up and forget to drip.
I couldn't see doing things any other way now. Props to peeps with tanks set up that can't run this way.

You seeing a difference ?
Also, any temp increase from running it?
Man I need to get a bigger ato container. I'm changing the 5g every other day.
In my sump yes. Stuck it in the DT tonight going to have to get up early and check and make sure nothing is upset by the flow. Everything seems ok right now.
Will also be adding back two fresh socks in the morning
Didn’t see an increase in temp.

I really want to do it, to try it out and see how well it works. BUT - I really don't want to add another thing to maintain.
