dweebikus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just wondering if it comes with everything you need short of a water container? Thinking about ordering one today. Link to comment
YeahitsK Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It comes with more than you need. There are many possible way to mount the sensors and it comes with parts for each possibility. The only thing it doesn't have is a water reservoir. Link to comment
Pili Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Best ATO ever, been using one for 3+ years now with no failures. Link to comment
smedge Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 ^ what he said. You won't be dissapointed other than figuring out the slightly kooky mounting hardware. Link to comment
SPS20 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yep, the instructions are horrible, but the mounting hardware really does cover every possibility. It does not come with a reservoir, but everything else you need, including the pump, is included. If you buy one, know that you have the absolute best ATO system money can buy. There is nothing more reliable, period. Link to comment
Aliasnumber1 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I hate that if i do a water change and the new water level is above the sensor it runs non stop unless it hits the high water sensor. Link to comment

smedge Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I hate that if i do a water change and the new water level is above the sensor it runs non stop unless it hits the high water sensor. Mine doesnt do that. I usually just unplug it during my water change since i know the level will be fluctuating. My pump just runs for a second when i plug it back in. If yours doesnt stop pumping shortly after the green light comes on (indicating the sensor is touching the water), it may be broken. Link to comment
SPS20 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Aliasnumber1: This is just a guess, as I haven't tried this, but perhaps you have your optical sensor installed upside down? I'm not sure if the unit would behave the way you describe if it were mounted upside down, but it's an idea worth investigating. The wire should come out of the side of the sensor pointing toward the tank rather than the sump floor. Link to comment
Aliasnumber1 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Maybe ... the sensor looks like a sharpened pencil, I have the point of the sensor pointing down. I hated the directions i actually tried to read them and ended up tossing it. Link to comment
