nor_cal_nano Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Finished one of these a couple weeks ago.... just wanted to state for the record, this thing works like a charm! THANKS Quote Link to comment
calabdiver Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Please correct me if I'm wrong but this ATO SWITCH will run on 110v ac without the use of a relay. Quote Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Please correct me if I'm wrong but this ATO SWITCH will run on 110v ac without the use of a relay. but you have 110v ac practically in the water... Quote Link to comment
calabdiver Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm a noob when it comes to ATO stuff just trying to get some info so I can make one. So your telling me that the current that turns on the pump will flow through the water? Quote Link to comment

But most importantly, if the current ever gets through the insulation your fish and you will be in some deep #### Quote Link to comment

intermision Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just finished building mine, works great, the container I'm using expands a lot more than I thought it would. It seems to work good, I just need to figure out how to fix a tiny leak where the airline goes in. Quote Link to comment
Rick Shaw Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 supporting a float switch with suction cups would kinda worry me. Quote Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) supporting a float switch with suction cups would kinda worry me. agreed. Where did you see that? @ Intermission: How big is that container dude? I've been wanting to upgrade to a 1 gallon but I wasn't sure if it would work as well.

intermision Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 agreed. Where did you see that? @ Intermission: How big is that container dude? I've been wanting to upgrade to a 1 gallon but I wasn't sure if it would work as well. It's 5gal, the only downside that I can tell is that it takes a while to pressurize. It seems to work fine. On my old 110v top off system I had a 3g container and I'd have to refill it every 5 days or so if I did my math right then this should last almost 9 days between refills. Quote Link to comment

Yamato Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Wow, I finally got around to making this ATO. It works great, and I even had two dead batteries I saved up for three months and it pumps the water perfectly. The most difficult thing was making the mount. I got around that by using acrylic and bending it to hook to the tank. Thanks for the idea! Quote Link to comment
kristoffer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 For those of you using the AZOO Pumps... can someone post pictures of how you spliced/attached the wires from the floatswitch to the pump? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
agibby5 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If the ATO reservoir is full, I suppose the pump would run and run, right? Quote Link to comment
marryfoxgirl Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Batteries produce DC Most plug in air pumps are AC. If your pump is AC, it really isnt worth the cost of the parts given that battery air pumps are pretty cheap. If you really want to go ahead, you will need to buy or make an inverter. If your air pump is DC, then it should be easy. _______________________________________ Website I developed for payday loan canada company. Quote Link to comment
