Im looking for some feedback here. I do not have an ato currently and dont really want one. What I plan to do is under estimate my evaporation rate and dose that amount with kalk in RODI, so it is kind of like an ATO. I want to do this by using the apex and just telling it to turn an outlet on for a few seconds and then turn off. I want to use a Maxijet 600 reduced down to a 1/4" line. I will see how fast the flow rate is out of the pump at my tank to be able to estimate how long i need to let the pump run each day. I will program the Apex so that if the pH is to high the pump will not turn on to add more kalk. For an overflow sensor I would like to use the AutoAqua Smart Level Security as the last line of defense. Even if the apex tells the pump to come on and fill and if the level is to high the AutoAqua will not allow the pump to turn on. I just want to be able to leave the system for a week at a time and be somewhat stable without intervention. I will underestimate flow as I am ok with some drop in water level. Does anyone see any issues with this design plan?
