For the record, I use 2 of their Osmolators and have found the float backup to be of great use
I have it setup to stop the pump in case of mutliple power outages/restarts as it will cut the pump power and not over fill
But I would never go without the sensor eye

Agreed. The optic sensor is 1000 times better and much safer. With the backup float, you're golden.

That being said... I hate their pumps. I replaced 3 pumps in 2 years. When my new build is all set up, I am going to get the 12V adapter so I can run a MaxiJet1200 instead.

+1 on the optical sensor being a superior option. FWIW, I've modified a regular Tunze osmolator to run on my 4 gallon pico. It's an expensive way to do it, but it works like a charm. I did however have to ditch the emergency float cut-off to do it, but I'm confident enough in the sensor that I haven't lost any sleep over it.
