JBJ ATO Automatic Top Off System Controller

[loves saltwater]

Does anyone know anything about this type of controller ? If so it has an option to purchase 2 sensor I would like to know if the second sensor is needed. I will be using this for topoff ?

I have it....runs well, it will need adjusting right out of the box. basically open it up and you will see a dial....turn it counter clockwise until it stops.

This gives it 14 mins to set the top off to the right level. It comes out of the box with 3 minutes. That wasn't long enough for mine.

It came with 2 sensors, thats normal. One for the top off water and the other for the tank. Makes sure the pump has water.

Good unit I think! I love JBJ, got the ato, the chiller, and a tank.

enjoy

I have it and turned the screw to 14 min but still sometimes, actually a lot does not fill enough and then the sensor triggers and wont turn on. What pump are you using for top off. I am using it to top kalwasser with small little pump to drip in mix. Any idea?

I had the aqua lifter....3G and hour. What I did was put it in mode b, and pretty much put it at the same level. Worked well after that.

I was planning on using it for just a topoff for my sump.I had planned on yusing one of my PH that I have laying around.
