auto top off time out
Im looking for a way to make sure that the auto top off shuts off after 20 minutes. Just to keep runaway situations from happening. what are my options? I just cant figure out how to make it happen without just picking an hour each day where the pump would be capable of turning on. is there a way to make the timer start on the pumps initiation incase of a switch failure.

Plug your ATO into a digital lighting timer like this:
Then set it to turn on for 20 mins each day. That way it will only fill if the tank level is low and it will only run for 20 mins max. Hope this helps, VR

JBJ and I'm sure other ATOs already have this feature built in.
