I have successfully moved my sump to my basement and expanded it. All is working well though I miss the slop sink but thats another project...
I have also installed the auto topoff/change using the Colley devised Tunze Osmolator on a relay switch. It works well and makes life a lot easier but I have one issue I would be interested in resolving.
The ATO changes about 2.5 gallons per cycle on the fly (twice a day which is enough for my system). The reason I only do 2.5 gallons is because I don't want to drain so much water to where the return pumps are in danger of running dry. What I would like to do is have some kind of switch in that part of the sump that can detect low level of water and cut off the drain pump to prevent the returns from going dry. Float switches aren't very practical because they obviously would need to be always under water and they will get gunked up with stuff and be prone to failing.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any products that would fit the bill? I looked on Aquatic Ecosystems but the one thing they have won't do it.
Thank you all in advance.
