The is a ATO system is controlled by a Neptune APEX controller. The Pump is activated when the float switch is triggered in the sump. The pump is powered by a 12v 1000ma (1a) power supply plugged into the power strip controlled by the APEX. In the next version I will have a float switch at the bottom to stop the pump from running dry and send me an email to refill the container.


Supplies

1x Lowe's plain white bucket w/top - $7
1x Tunze Osmolator Replacement Metering Pump 5000.02 - $23.00
The best ATO pump I have found. Other cheap pumps just don't last.
20x 1/4 OD tubing $8
1x 1/4 quick disconnect fitting $3
