Autotopoff.com??

[allsps40]

Is anyone using the ATO.com single float unit?? If so how do you like it, and is it a good one to buy??? I plant on using an Aqua lifter pump with one.

i use the dual one from them, have had it for over 5 years and it hasn't failed once. but i would suggest the dual one just for the fact if it ever does fail.

 

[mojo~]

I have one, I like it. works as well as any others I have used and it was cheaper too.

I use a BRS 50 ml per min dosing pump.

 

[capecoral]

Not bought, but read about many folks who have. All good.

I have the Quad top off switch. I bought the dual and added two more float switches on another bracket. I do not ever want a Kalk overdose.

 

[PGUY1]

I have the dual also. Using an aqualifter. Just clean it every now and then. Been running a year and a half now.

 

[KafudaFish]

I have the single. Never an issue.

 

[capecoral]

Clean what... the sensors or the aqualifter?

 

[celano]

Keep the floats clean. Sometimes salt creep or gunk from your tank can cause them to stick and thats a mess to clean up.

 

[miserkris]

Do those float switches use 120v or 12v from relay?

 

[fjr_wertheimber]

I had the single, loved it, never an issue. Great products, great customer service.

I have the double float ato. within one week, the forst float failed. not sure why, but backup float worked and saved me. I cleaned it up and it hasn't happened again in over a year. probably just a fluke. Be careful with just 1 float though.

 

[divewsharks]

I run the dual's on two tanks, both with aqualifters, zero issues.

 

[Supasalty]

I have a single and it works very well. It is so nice not having to worry about topping off with a bucket anymore.

 

[todd141]

anyone use the pump they sell on their site? It's only 8.50 I think. Would it be strong enough to pump from a 5 gallon bucket about 3 feet away from the sump?

 

[capecoral]

Yes automatic anything seems to be great

Just got some last week. Loving them so far.

Never used their pump, but the weakest pump in the hobby would work perfectly fine as you need hardly anything. The Aqualifter pumps by TomTom seem to be most popular for this use and retail for something like $12.

Depends on how you set it up, but you should use low voltage. You can get a package from them that includes a relay set up to do what you need and it isn't too expensive.

I use mine with a Neptune controller.

 

[collie man]

i have the dual float controller on my tank and it works perfectly. and i believe it is only 12v because selling a product that runs high voltage near water would not be good. plus the people on here would have crucified anyone for that same mistake.

I'm glad I waited to get an ATO, as I didn't know about this particular product. I'll probably buy the double float switch and plug into my future Neptune Apex controller.
