I am at my wits end with my Osmolator 3155.
For the second time in a month, I have woken up to the sound of trickling water. I check the tank and the optical sensor is high and dry and the water level has fallen significantly.
Thankfully this time I caught it early, but last time I was gone for a day and my water level had fallen so low that I lost my goniopora due to the salinity swing.
I’m just not sure how I can trust this ato now as it has failed twice in the same way (i.e, not kicking on leaving the sensor dry). The first time the sensor had a bit of salt creep, but this time the sensor looked perfectly clean — I don’t know if I have a faulty unit or what.
That said is there anything that I can do to troubleshoot this issue? Or do I just have a bad sensor / unit. This piece of equipment is a lifeline to my tank and I just don’t know how I can trust it going forward.
Thinking about biting the bullet and trying the Spectrapure ato as this has me really worried that I’m going to lose my tank due to the 3155 not working properly.
