Neptune Apex ATK (Auto Topoff Kit)

Go look at a synergy sump setup with the matching ato reservoir. The 2 units connect via ro tubing attached to 2 90deg push connect elbows. The sump and res are tall enough that a siphon shouldn't happen.

Its ok if you discount my take because I'm a beta tester.
But I purchased the pmup BEFORE I became a beta tester and used it for a while.
I also run a Synergy sump. A CL44 with ATO reservoir. And I have no siphon issues.
Feel free to ask others. You run 2 different pumps and have a siphon. What is the common denominator? Switching to a peristaltic pump stopped the siphon.

Actually I changed the pump because I moved the location of my ato res across my garage to accommodate a bigger container and had to run the tubing across the ceiling.
But hey keep on making random assumptions about me. I'll just keep on returning the favor about you.

Lol. Ok. No assumptions made. All are facts you posted.
You said the pmup and that Tunze sucked because they cause a siphon in your Synergy sump. But you have no issue with a litermeter.
Now you say you changed pump because you had to move the ato reservoir. This was never mentioned.
But still doesn't change the fact that I have no siphon issues with my pmup, or my Tunze 3155 for that matter, in my Synergy Sump.
It funny how people react when their statements get challenged and holes poked in it.
Back to regular programming. Feel free to make a post about how the pmup and the Tunze ato pump suck because they cause a siphon in your sump. We can move the discussion there.

Yet I posted in the same post that the sicce syncra micro didn't have the same issue. Last I checked and I can go check again in a box but the syncra is the same type or pump as the pmup and tunze.
But hey if you want to concentrate on the single part of my entire statement that supports your cause more power to you.

Ah yes. Agree, these switches are great, keep the wires out of the water. I also have never had one fail. But, I'll only use them in places I'm comfortable drilling into, like a 5g bucket or something. Not my expensive acrylic sump.

How are you liking it so far?
I just got around to doing a video about my ATK

Probably just the integration with apex and the algorithm programmed into it. Otherwise, the tunze would be just as good. I plan to purchase the flow meters so instead of Buying the fmk, I'll wait for the atk and purchase a single 1" flow meter. I also really like the moun for the optical eyes and float valve.
Any float switches with a breakout box will do the same job.
