How often does your ATO run?
Got a Neptune ATK v2 on my 50 rimless cube. It's winter and my air is dry so water evaporation is at it's highest this time of year. I'm ~3gal of RO/DI water every week.
The ATO kicks in for about 2-3secs every 2-3min. (I set up a report and see when the outlet gets turned on.) I know I can adjust the defer setting and such just wondering how often does your ATO kick in? |

I'm only guessing here, but roughly once every one to two hours.

About once an hour, it's going to depend on how large your return area is. The smaller the section the more the water level will move. I go through about 6 or 7 gallons a week on my 90. I'm just guessing the gallons, I have a 10g container that autofills twice a week. If I turn off the refill line I can go about a week and a half before it tells at me.

I evap about 8 gallons a day from my 600. I use a peristaltic that does about 20 gallons a day so it kicks on and off all day. If there was an issue with the dual float switches it would take days to cause an issue.

Can’t say for sure but close to 5g per day so once every 30 mins or so
