Looking for Auto Top Off suggestion

Thinking of purchasing an ATO. Going away for the holidays and think it's best to have something in place. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Tunze Osmolator, hands down. I have used many over the years and the Tunze is by far the best. It is very accurate and comes with loads of safety features, plus the customer service at Tunze is the best in the industry.

For a cheaper alternative that's almost as good, take a look at the JBJ auto topoff unit. I'm quite happy with mine, as are a lot of people I've talked to.

I run the Premium top off kit from aquahub.com. It is the cheapest top off setup but requires a little DIY skill, not much though and it comes with detailed instructions. Get the kit here http://www.aquahub.com/store/autotopoffcomp.html

Tunze Osmolator was one of the best things I ever purchased. Works flawlessly.
