URGENT - Leak sensor failure.

[Fisherman Joe]

Suddenly got an email alert too!

Skimmer waste float switch video

Leak sensor demonstration

Both functions are now working as they should. I did nothing but leave the system alone for 24 hours.

If these functions worked properly yesterday I wouldn’t have a flooded kitchen.

Oi have now purchased a D&D skimmer guardian too. Adding that in to the mix for a third safety feature. Also think I will rework my skimmer collection cup so that I can pump directly from that! This was if it over flows, it will stay in the sump.

Related question: why is the skimmer overflowing so often? Do you have a really big bio load or is it just finicky and occasionally pumps out fairly clean water?

It’s not really related because this discussion is more about the sensors but it’s just over skimming when cleaned out. I have a large bio load so need to clean it often. Sometimes it’s goes nuts and pumps out pure water.

How very odd!

Home today, made no changes, now the float switch and leak sensors work!!

Very worrying that I don’t know why this happened. I would rather find out this is my fault!

Did you do a power-cycle yesterday?

Sincerely Lasse

 

[Fisherman Joe]

Yes. But it didn’t work after the power cycle. But 24 hours later it does.

 

[Lasse]

This is fishy. I hope that GHL can solve this with an explanation. I have been a problem solver for halv my life and there is nothing that scare me more than fault that repair them self.

Sincerely Lasse

 

[Fisherman Joe]

Exactly.

Maybe out of topic, but have you thought of an automatic neck cleaner for your skimmer? It may solve your problem. Hope your daughter and @Lasse get well really soon!

 

[Fisherman Joe]

Thought of one but you only end up cleaning that too!

Not really. Like if you have a reef octopus one and also use the waste collector, it works like a charm

 

[Fisherman Joe]

I have a Nyos skimmer.

Does the squeegie thing get covered in skim material all the time?

 

[Lasse]

@Fisherman Joe How is your daughter? i´m home for the moment

It doesn't, you would need one from AVAST marine for a Nyos. Good to hear that Lasse!

Better thank you. Should be home tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
