JBJ will handle anything up to 2amps. It shouldn't be an issue.

So I assume a 2 amp pump is bigger than my maxi1200?

I never really looked at that before....

I am runnng a very basic sump pump from princess auto. It was cheap and can push the water very well. Mine is downstairs and about 30' away and pumps no problem. Also sump pumps have a float built in so that is an added bonus. I should say to that point though, my basement pump runs from a 60g drum and feeds a 30g brute upstairs which is then used as my ato. So much water around here lol

Mode B adds more protection against adding to much top-off. The other modes are safe but B is best. It will be easy for you to guage how much much RO water to add to your resevoir once you know how much evaportaes, so unless you really forget about it hard to make it go dry.

You would think using one sensor in the sump would be the same, with less water drop.

I understand that in mode B one sensor notices lower level..., one the max.

And in mode A... One sensor does both.... Float drops... Water rises... Float rises.

Being a first time ATOer.... Maybe I am missing something. Please fill me in.

But I do agree about a $20 pump.

Thanks

Gotcha. Thanks.

Never thought about over filling.
