LETS SAY SOMETHING FAILS, WHAT HAPPENS?

In a nutshell it shuts down the pump so the top-up is inoperative until you come along and reset it, indication that it has shut down is via the pump LED starts flashing and the alarm sounds for 30 seconds, sounder then repeats for 2 seconds at 15 minute intervals. Reset is a simple push of the button, once to silence the alarm and twice to full reset - if the cause of the fault is still present then it will go back into alarm state

 BONUS - Anti-Wave - many are familiar with the pump switching on and off every time you stick your hands in the water, or the same things happens if you have that powerful wave maker powerhead. This is addressed by a 3 second built in float delay activation, in other words the water level has to be "LOW" for 3 seconds before the pump starts, as soon as the level reaches a "HIGH" position the pump stops. The distance between high and low level is not measurable by conventional means the sensor is that accurate!

BONUS - Memory - that preset time you set up stays unless you reprogam, it is not lost on power failure!

    Great service

    Had some problems setting up (not a fault with design) and contacted Gordon. He called back and talked me through solution. Because of my setup we couldn’t access where I needed to. No problem- Gordon sent me a different sensor and now it’s all working.
    Excellent service.
    Thank you Gordon.

    Auto top up kit pro4

    So far this is great piece of kit. No sensor in the tank to get dirty or salt encrusted.
    I found it difficult to place the control box as I use it on an AIO nano and the cable from the sensor to the control box is very short.
    It would be handy to have a line or mark on the sensor to show where it senses the water level but other than that it's perfect, very pleased.

    Great ATU

    I've had bad luck with other ATUs and wanted to try something else this time around. So far the pro 4 ATU has been working very well for me on my nano AIO. As the sensor is on the outside it's easily adjustable and takes up very little of the precious available space in the rear chambers.

    Reefloat ATO Pro4

    Why, oh why didn’t I buy one of these years ago. Such a simple but fail safe set up that just works perfectly with my 28g Nano with rear chamber. Can’t even hear the pump when it kicks in and it keeps my tank to the desired level, whilst keeping all tank perameters within safe limits. Absolute love it and it only took 5 minutes to set up.
