Well I just ordered your Peristaltic pump for my ATO on my new build. I hope it's as quiet as you guys claim it is! I'm super excited about adding some Avast to my build! Have a great day!

It is quiet but I am wondering if it is to slow of a pump for my ATO. I have a 130g and 30-40g sump and when the ATO triggers I am just not satisfied with the time it takes to level my tank back off again.

Typically how long does it run for?

Happy with mine!
Where you put your sensor will have a direct impact on the volume need to 'complete the top off'.
Meaning the surface area of the chamber it is located will determine the volume needed to refill and trigger the switch, and the frequency that it runs.
Big surface area = run less often for longer full time.
Small surface area = run more often for shorter fill time.

What do you mean by drop rate? I hear ya on the quiet part. I can't hear this thing kick on at all!

Drip. It pumps pretty slow.
