Is anyone using their float switches?
Are they reliable? I'm thinking of picking one up, along with a litermeter III to get the ATO started up. Yes, I'm still doing it manually. - Anthony

I've been using one of their double switch controllers with a solenoid valve for about three months now, no problems so far. I went with the double switch to have the back up in case the first one was stuck somehow.
Not having to dump in top off water every day is a great thing. |

Thanks, I appreciate the time everyone took.
I'll pick up the double switch unit and a small pump. I just wanted to know if the switches ever got stuck (like JBJ).

yep - good stuff
I'm using them for both my ATO and Reservoir, I may even add a third set for a water change station. What's nice is he doesn't mind working with you on custom builds.

+1 for autotopoff.com. I'm still in the build stages but the double switches and solenoids are working great and they offer great advice and support.

I've been using one for over two years without any issues (knock on wood.)
