ATO failed / should I?

[Daddy-o]

I am going to manually plug the ATO on and off every time I feed the fish and come home then, dang it. These ATO ain’t royal ‍♂

Get a smart programmable outlet?

I would consider routing your ATO line through a mechanical float valve placed just above the ato high level float switch. That way if the switch sticks the float will stop the flow.

That might solve the problem. Something like this I think

So I was about to order them but most recent reviews from amazon got me re think if that’s the right ones to buy. Here’s the link to the float valve, i will need one for a rimmed sump and one with rimless.

please, if you have any experience or info whether or not I should get these, let me know or what other brand or solutions to prevent my tunze ato fail lol.
