Top off system

Norboo · 10/19/2006, 09:47 PM

I have room in my stand for an extra water tank and want to use it as storage for auto top off.

What type of valve or system will I need? I have extra pump already.

Thank you

I use a top off from www.autotopoff.com Their double float switch has worked flawlessly for me.

i use this float switch from autotopoff, just hanging on your sump and secure the switch at the rigth water level and your done!

It has a second switch to prevent accidental overflows if the bottom switch sticks (mine never has)

Cheers

Something like JBJ's ATO.
