Cheapest way is a secondary float valve, as Brad suggests
Just test it every week I've already had one float semi-fail since last May (not ATO related, but a float to a relay to shut off other stuff) I took it out and cleaned it up. Now it's fine Otherwise, buy a Tunze Osmolator and keep the sensor eye clean

I already have a kent float valve that's in storage. So I am all good on that front.
 ATO pump question. What would be a good pump? Reservoir and sump are inches apart? Last edited by Werbo; 04-20-2013 at 07:18 PM.

ATO
Just my 2 cents. I only allow the ATO power for a few minutes a day via apex. So worse case and ATO fails in on position, minimal damage is done before I notice. Simply figure out your evaporation and how much your pump puts out and allow only enough time to complete the task.

My ATO reservoir is quite large at approximately 25G.
Do I have to do anything to minimize slime, algae, ect in such a large reservoir. Is airating the water necessary? Once heard this but his reasoning did not make sense to me. I should also note that the majority of the time the reservoir will only have 10G. 10G is about 5 days water. I'll only be filling before vacations.

I'd think aerating it would be fine, but you may splash everything around it with the popping bubbles It's up to you - air pump or powerhead My ATO tank is out of direct light, but still gets ambient light I've not had any issues with algae of any kind, only slime. This we suspect was coming from the RO as I was getting air in my RO system between uses, so it's most likely a bacterial buildup I plan on cleaning out my ATO soon so I expect the slimy-eggwhite crap to go away
