Pump alternatives that work with the Neptune FMM?

[bureau13]

Does anyone have an alternative to the Pmup pump that can run off of the Neptune ATK system (FMM)? I have two in my system, I just replaced one that died after about a year, and now a second one has died. I think it might be the new one but I'm not sure, but assuming it's not and I have to buy something, does anyone have a more robust pump suitable for automatic top-off, but that can also be run as part of Neptune's top-off system?

Please don't tell me to get a Tunze top-off, I ran one of those and it wasn't reliable either, although at least the pumps were cheap.

It'll be a DIY solution but you can do it..
AquaMaxx ATO pump or Toms Aqua Lifter. Both 120V.
Now if you wanna go plug and play... Then use a more robust 24V DC pump via FMM ports.
Also Neptune systems don't give intelligence thru third party systems. Best of luck

Looks like Neptune is sending me a warranty replacement, so for now at least, I guess I'll stick with the Pmup. I will keep an eye out for reasonable alternatives though, just in case.

I bought the FMM, but haven't set it up yet. Can't you use a dosing pump controlled by one of the outlets on the EB832?

I suppose I could. I've never used a dosing pump for that application.
