RKL float setup

[rerr001]

I have a JBJ ATO top off system on my tank with two floats. When water drops to a certain point, float activate pump to top off. As water level rises, second float turns pump off at a certain point. My question is... can the RKL be setup to do the same process with dual floats?

while I am not 100% certain on this, with the RKL one float is a primary and the other is a safety in case the primary gets stuck. you may want to check their forums for sure. you will need a system lab or at least two switch ports.

Yes u can set it up with RKL. I use port A to top off and port B for fail safe and i use a dual floats.

Thanks, I know the primary float will activate the pump at low level and will shut the pump down at a certain time limit. The second float will shut down the pump if the primary fails. So do I monitor the pump filling to determine how long to set the shut off time to set in the controller for the primary float?

There is no time limits for a first float to turn off. It's basically turns off a device when water level raises to its preset level. to prevent it to over top off, then u use a second float to stop it...

I have mine set up like this.. Two Float switches - Lower one is Switch A Higher one is Switch B

If water drops below Switch A turn on outlet 1 which is my ATO Pump. Once water reaches above Switch A ( OFF MODE ) turn off outlet 1.

Switch B is just a fail safe. If Switch B ever engages that means the sump has to much water. Stop dosing Kalk and turn off outlet 1 just in case its stuck and dumped all my ATO water in.
