Looked around, but couldn't find a thread that was the same situation as mine with this ATO.
I just picked up this nano ATO this weekend. I can only get it to work ONE time every time the power supply is plugged in. If I unplug and replug, it will work as intended ONE time, then no longer work.
Both scenarios of:
1. Plug in with sensor under water. Slowly lift sensor. Pump activates until I submerge it again.
2. Plug in with sensor dry. Pump activates until I submerge it.
I then can no longer get the pump to activate, regardless of time. For example, I put the sensor in my display (stable water level) with sensor submerged. An hour later, I tried to lift it to trigger the pump. No luck. Left it like that for over a minute without any action from pump.
I can, however, hear the relay box (or what ever you call it), "clicking" every time the sensor SHOULD be triggering on and off.
I have tried it with and without the magnets.
I have double checked the sensor to make sure it is clean. It is sparkly.
I have cleaned up the contacts on the power supply in the relay and inside the relay. Also cleaned up the bare wires that push in.
I have tried everything I can think of!
