I have been, but it's still a work in progress.
And when will this "Tasks" feature be released? I'd like to utilize the advanced ATO features you mentioned.

I don't run the flow sensors, just the OS-1 sensors.

I'm not sure. The new features were only announced last week or so.

Ah OK. I thought there was some kind of public beta available.

oooh that be nice.... Im hoping I get a bit more life outta my tunze for sure, but I know what its replacement will be lol.. But depending how long my Tunze lives and the results of the life of these will determine that next move.. But this sure does look sweet. Regardless one thing I wish I could do is activate one of my current devices wether it be the Tunze auto or a Doser pump on a timer randomly i.e. if my all is low to turn on my all dose for 10 or 15 min I have to time it and pray I don't forget (almost nuked my tank a couple weeks back)

I was thinking I had wasted money with the ALD module when I saw the FMM come out. Now I see I will need it for leak detection, since the ATO will take two ports on the FMM, leaving me with two left for the flow meters, and therefore no ports for leak sensors.
Worked well after all.
Where does the PMUP pump hooks up to? The small ports of the EB832(forgot the names)?
I have had the flow sensor of my JBJ ATO stick twice on the ON position, dumping all ATO RO water in my sump. Cant wait to have the optical sensors with float safety backup

I think the switch from the reed to optical sensors makes this instantly more reliable. I wasn't a believer at first, but I've had so many of those crappy little plastic switches fail over time...
I haven't used pressure switches so I can't comment on them.

Did you get your Apex question answered? If not post a link and I can take a look. Don't mean to hijack thread.
At $199 it seems kind of expensive as the pmup pump basically sucks. I don't see how this is any better than my current apex controlled setup which consists of a litermeter basic pump and my 2 madison float switches. If they want to compete with a Tunze it should be a little cheaper.
I've always paid a bit more to get the Madison brand reed float switches. Haven't had one fail yet, but the current crop are only 4 years old.

I sort of agree, I've had the exact same setup, since I've started this hobby, even moved between a few different tanks, and it's never failed me.
Maybe their target group for this product are new hobbiest. Or the hobbiest who's ATO just took a crap and now looking to upgrade.
For me, it would be an "upgrade" whenever something on mine fails. Until then, I'm content.
Basically the same issue I have with the tunze ato pump in that it kinda sucks. It's super easy to get it to go into siphon. I think I'm just spoiled by the litermeter basic though as it's pulling water 30ft across my garage and will never go into siphon no matter how I install it.
First of all a pump that is inside a container that is the same height as the sump and has tubing connected horizontally from the top of the container to the sump should not siphon when turned off. A tiny sicce sincra micro does not do it yet the tunze and pmup do.
I mentioned the litermeter as that's what I have now and yes I know the difference between a peristaltic and impeller pump.
The pmup is way too expensive for what it is.
Then again you are a "beta" tester for Neptune so I don't expect you to agree.
