Tired of lifting heavy buckets to refill sumps or tanks due to evaporation?

There is finally a professional grade product that automates refilling evaporated water. The All-New A.T.O (Automatic Top Off) device is the most advanced water level controller system on the market. Lifting heavy buckets and spilling water is now a thing of the past. Maintaining stable salinity and specific gravity are no longer a problem since the A.T.O. will refill as soon as the water level drops. The A.T.O. will keep all salt levels at consistent parameters, ensuring an optimal environment for your tank inhabitants

ADVANCED FEATURES

Float Sensors
The A.T.O. is equipped with (2) float sensors that activate within seconds when your water level drops and automatically refills your sump or tank until it reaches your desired set point. Each float sensor has been designed with an exterior guard preventing snails & hermit crabs from attaching to the sensors.

Electronic Controller Module
Our state-of-the-art electronic controller allows for (2) modes of operation with a total of (3) different set up scenarios, allowing you more choices for installation for your unique set up. Our compact controller also incorporates a visible L.E.D. panel + our innovative Audible Signal alerts when in operation mode.

Linkable Brackets
Your professional kit includes commercial grade "Linkable Brackets" that can easily be adjusted to meet your height requirements, and securely positions your float sensors. Many competing brands use inferior suction cups that are temporary that can lead to disastrous water spillage.

Pump Safety Protection
The A.T.O. automatically stops power to your return pump in your reservoir, in the event that your reservoir is low on water. This safety feature prevents pumps from running dry and failing. (Mode A- Example 1)

(07/19/2009) - i used mine for more than 3 years, not once did it fail me. i use a 3gal jug of top-off water with a maxijet pump and 1/2 in hose. i just purchased a new 28gal hqi nano and i plan on useing it with it.

(11/28/2007) - The float valve does not shut off the unit when it becomes fully submerged. The alarm is stupid and serves no purpose. I do not recommend this product.

(09/24/2007) - Sorry...but this device gave me problems within a couple of months. The floats stick and I have run my sump almost dry as a result. I am currently shopping for a new top-off system myself. I would not recommend this device.

(07/18/2007) - I would have rated this a 5 during the first 9 - 12 months of ownership, but now must give it a 1 for long term reliability. Having used this device for around 1 year I am dissapointed in the reliability of the float switch. The switch in the sump gets stuck periodically which will stop the ATO from delivering top off water. Although this means you won't get a flood, it also means it may cause the sump to run dry if the ATO stops working. This is obviously a risk for damaging the return pump, not to mention risk to the livestock. It's difficult to find the JBJ switch (needed as it has the JBJ proprietary plug to attach to the ATO unit) and costs around $35 when you find it, not including S/H. So the initial ATO package price is very attractive, however, I experienced the switch to be unreliable and expensive to replace. Now I am considering a Tunze - it's more expensive upfront, but may be less expensive in the long term.

(10/05/2005) - This unit makes life easy. Extremly easy set up, haven't had a problem yet. Nice how you can set it up with protection from burning out the pump too. FYI, the instructions to disable the audible alarm are right on JBJ's site. It's simple to remove.

(09/05/2005) - The functionality of the unit is fine, but whenever the water gets low and has to engage the pump an ALARM MUST SOUND. Ugh! Not wanting to return it, I opened it up and voided the waranty by lancing the little alarm diode devil with a pin. Sweet silence. I would give this a 5 if at least they gave you the option of turning off the alarm.
