Level-Loc ATO Questions
I'm a little bit confused on this product
It is possible to run a Level-Loc (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/...o-systems.html) straight to the rodi for automatic sump top off, but also have the rodi fill my standard reservoir that i use to make water change water? I would think that this would have to be possible, just having hard time visualizing how the level-loc connects. Would seem to me that there would need to be a "splitter" somewhere ... ? My tank evaporates ~5 gallons of water a day. How do i figure out how to set a timer up to run this thing so that it is not always cycling the rodi on and off and killing my di resin and membrane? |

I have it and I LOVE it. very simple and good redundancy. to do both, I think you ssimly put a Tee before it and have one going to your Tank and the other to your RODI Water.

I am using the ato straight from my rodi for top off ... I have it running via apex only allows water to run every night so my rodi isn't running on and off all day. I like the fact that it has multiple safety features. no splitters on this unit just reg rodi water line and a john guest fitting. Since I run this through the apex i also have programs to shut down water production if the unit fails with additional float valves. I also monitor salinity with the apex so if if the unit keeps running i will be notified and rodi unit will shut down... Oh yea also have water bugs set up in case of flood ... This is on a 600g system with basement sump ... Great unit i think bulk reef supply has a good video on this unit
