Osmolator question

[yongpanda]

Hi, I have a quick question.

I noticed that the osmolator makes an obnoxious beeping sound if the float switch is triggered to prevent flooding. But does the osmolator also make this sound when the pump is running dry?

Thanks

Nope! Would be nice sometimes mine doesn't even show as being low.

That sucks. Well I'd hope that if Tunze ever decides to revamp their product, they add this feature because it'd be nice to have an alarm tell me when to fill my freshwater vat instead of always having to check everyday (or maybe I'm just an overall busy person).

If you check page 44 of the current manual, it explains that this is a user setting. You open the controller and set the alarm for too high only (factory setting), too high and too low or off. This was on different pages in older issues of the manual, but it is there and is present in every osmolator since 2002.

By the way, the too low is triggered by the pump being triggered to run for 10 minutes and a top off not being registered, there is no detection for the pump being dry, etc, it is only a timer.

I see. Thanks!
I'll try it out
