My awesome husband just finished the ATO for my system. Here are some pictures of the process. Right now I'm using a 5g bucket for the water and everything is in the front. I will be working on moving it to the side & back of my tank. Just need to figure out a shelf system and put my husband to work again!
Feel free to ask any questions.
The blue float is the start and emergency stop, the white float is the stop for when the level is reached.
He used a heat gun and wooden blocks to make the bends in the plastic holder.
He placed plastic shrink tube over the wiring to help seal everything and hold it together.
He built a box out of some oak that he had laying around and used silicone to hold the electrical box in place.
Now the wiring. I'm so glad that I own and electrician
, I would never be able to do this on my own!
He used a solid state relay that he had in a box of miscellaneous equipment, it's probably 20 yrs old and made in the USA.
