I have an RSK-300, hooked up to a smart plug for when I need to turn it off for feedings (my sockets are all hidden in a cabinet). My problem is this. Sometimes my power cuts out, and when it restarts - the water level in the skimmer chamber causes the skimmer cup to fill, and overflow. By the time everything corrects itself, the levels in the return chamber are now lower due to the skimmer cup being filled with approx 1L of saltwater. - which causes the ATO to top up freshwater, decreasing salinity over time.
What is the best solution for this? I've looked at the "skimmer guardian" setups, but that doesnt fix the problem of the cup filling. Ideally, some sort of switch on the socket that doesnt automatically turn on in the case of a power outage, or some sort of delay before doing so - to give the levels time to stabilise. Thanks for any input.
