Pump for ATO

TAHK · Nov 24, 2022

Hello,
I have been using Tunze ATO for a while with the reservoir sitting under the aquarium. I would like to move it out of the house (25 feet with 4 ft vertical). I think I want to try the Tunze switched outlet to control the pump. Can anyone recommend the pump that would work on such a switch? As a bonus I would like to stick with the RO tubing for simplicity.
So the requirements
1. Pump comes on once the outlet switched on and didn’t require programming.
2. Pump doesn’t require priming.
3. Able to use RO tubing(optional).
Open to any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I am familiar with Kamoer and DOS. I use Kamoer XTP for the Ca Reactor and DOS FOR AWC. I stay away from Sicce. The Kamoer I have needs programming once it comes on. That would not work with the switched outlet. I think DOS would do the same…

I use a neptue pmup that is has similar head on it with no problem. 25 feet horizontal with 9 feet vertical. 1/4" ro tubing. It does pump a bit slower but it works and has lasted without issue.

I have considered upsizing the tubing to 3/8 or 1/2 inch to see if it puts less strain on the pump and maybe higher flow.

On a related note does anyone tried what happens when Camorr has its power cut off and restarted. Does pump returns to pre
Set rate or does it require re-programming?

Is Neptune pump the one that comes with their ATO?

Depends on the pump. The FX-STP will resume its programing automatically whe power is restored. The x1 will not. I can't speak for the other Kamoer pumps.
