![]() Tks. I do like to tinker and have an electronics background. But, time is my issue. May look at the relay down the road. Will hook up the tunze for now though - when I get 5 minutes

![]() for tunze, make sure you don't let the pump run dry for couple days, this is not a problem with toms aqua lifter with apex. Sometimes, i just forgot to fill ATO reservoir for days :-)

I like my controller (not Apex) but trust my osmolator's optical sensor more than float switches. I've had to clean a float lately that luckily I tested and found it to be unresponsive I hit my optical with a toothbrush when I remember, but it's never let me down yet - 11 months so far A spare pump wouldn't hurt, just in case ... |

![]() BTW just as more info, I'ver had the osmolator for about 4 years and when I got it, it had those gimpy stoopid mounting arms. I upgraded to the magnetic mounts (they should be stock now), and it's awesome. The most I've done for cleaning is rubbing my finger over the lens and a fresh water flush over it... it's pretty bullet proof, I was worried about algae or other build up screwing with the refractive sensor, but not even after so many years...

![]() The only trouble I've had with my osmolator is the optical eye. We still don't know what caused it but I think it's something to do with the way my ATS lighting. Those sensor's don't like light shining into them
![]() Anyway, the optical sensor stopped working but was replaced no questions asked ![]() |

![]() Thanks will keep. Just need to drill hole through wall so I can feed from RO supply in next room. I have 50G sump filled half way, so I'm thinking if I fill my 20G trash can 2/3 of the way. I should still be okay if I have a ATO fail and a return pump fail at same time - right?
