Pancetta Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hey Lawn, I am thinking about upgrading to a Reefer 170. How do you like the AI Prime? Was it hard to set up? Seems like a lot of people complain about the App and programming it. Thanks, David Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Lawn, how does one do water changes when it will add water automatically when the sump is low? There is no valve or plug on the ATO so it'll just pour in. Or am I missing something? Can I see a sump-picture? Are you using the 3g container or an external ATO reservoir? Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You can just turn off the ATO pump when changing water. Or turn off the return and siphon from the DT. There is no ATO pump, in the Red Sea Reefer it uses a float switch. I was planning on siphoning from the sump since it seems like as the lowest part of the tank it would gather the most detritus but could do it from the display I guess. Shut off the pump, mark where water level in display ends up, drain, refill back to that level, turn pump back on. Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 How about just keeping the float in place then? So it doesn't trigger. This! Exactly what I was going to say. put something on it or prop it during water changes. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 How about just keeping the float in place then? So it doesn't trigger. Hmm, yes that would word. Or a small valve since it uses flexible tubing? Link to comment
spectra Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hmm, yes that would word. Or a small valve since it uses flexible tubing? Bingo I think it is the same 1/4" line that the RO units use so go to HD and get a slip valve and put it in. Link to comment

Seems like a lot of people complain about the App and programming it. Thanks, David I love the AI Prime it's doing a awesome job for me. It took me a few hours to figure out the app but it's easy now. Lawn, how does one do water changes when it will add water automatically when the sump is low?

Bingo I think it is the same 1/4" line that the RO units use so go to HD and get a slip valve and put it in.You turn the return pump off and the display back siphons a few gallons into the sump. This raises the float valve up. Then you siphon out the waterchange water from the display. Then I pump my new water into the sump and turn the return pump back on. Link to comment

That's to easy I do remember that though turning of the return and the sump grows a little..... Link to comment
