Although this looks like a great kit Laurie, I am not looking for the hardware/electronics part of the ATO, just the reservoir. Thanks for the idea!
Matt from Concepts has sent me a message and I am considering a custom glass reservoir from them. It is cheaper than anything I can find locally even when you factor in shipping.

Yet another idea stolen... errrr... 'borrowed' from gregzz4. Any more and I think I may have to start paying royalties.

Nicely done

Plumbing progress. Main drain, emergency and overflow standpipes done!

love the cover on overflow, yet another thing to throw on my to do list. Good looking build

[gregzz4]

Ooooo, I likey the red pipe, and the skid80 fittings, and the gate valve
Great choices
Looks awesome dood

Just a thought, as you don't yet have a high level switch attached to that fancy new overflow cover ...

You may want to lower your emerg pipe an inch or two, or install a switch on your controller
Sorry I don't have a pic handy for you of the underside, but you get the idea

My emerg is an inch or more below the top of the inner lip of the megaflow box
I TRUST NOTHING

Thanks gregzz4! So what you are saying is a high level switch connected to a controller (via a breakout box?) that detects high water level and shuts down the return pump?
