A discussion on ATO choices, advice appreciated

[DEL]

How is it ? I have a far distance and been debating it

So far so good. I like the construction of it. It's definitely powerful. What's the distance you are trying to put it through?

Horizontally like 10 feet

Give AO a call, IIRC they used to carry a knock off version of the Avast ato system.

May I ask who is AO?

Check out the Avast ATO. That thing is flawless.

I use this with a digital output to apex or you can use standard outlet.

Custom Pressure Switch Builder

This is the pressure switch portion of our Legacy ATO, new Parrot ATO & Davy Jones' Skimmate Locker products. Includes the switch box with along with the pressure sensor tube(s) and tubing. We have seen a lot of creative uses for these over the years, from water storage tanks to overflow...

Combined with this. I lift water 10 ft and run it 30 ft across the ceiling to my display. I’ve replaced the pump once in 9 years !!! Diaphragm Pump

SoaB! That's what started this thread. I have this system in my main an LOVE it.
When I went looking at their ATO section, this wasn't listed as a main ATO, just the 'new improved' version with the float system, etc...
Didn't realize they downgraded it and buried it a bit down the page, making it not look like an ATO.

I did go with the autotopoff.com dual float system for the redundancy, plus I'm having fun rewiring it for a secondary pump and a siphon system.
If this works after I mess with it I'll use it.
If it doesn't, I'm grabbing the Avast.

Really enjoying all the input in this thread as well, it would be a great sticky for ATO info.

My top off - brute with to in basement connected to a mag 18 plumbed through floor to tank. Connected mag 18 to electrical strip next to tank. Fill tank evaporation. Also this is how I do water changes. Another brute in basement with salt water. Hit a switch and you’re done. No sensors or floats to go bad!

Sticky done.
