So a few weeks ago my 6 month old elos auto top off unit started not to function correctly. It would have an alarm and not top off. From the manual It just seemed to be an error so I restarted the system. This kept happening, so I cleaned the pump and everything appeared to be working. I tried to go back to the LFS I bought it from, but I was told to talk to elos. So I gave elos a call, which was a complete waste of time, since they didn't seem to think I had a defective unit. So now I'm stuck with a auto top off that requires me to press a button to top off the system. Anyone else have this issue? I'm pretty ****ed since I payed quite a bit for something that was apparently "better" than the tunze!

What size hose do you have on the return pump? Also, the unit is under 1 year old so if it is defective they have to replace it. It uses a PLC so if there is no issue with hose size, etc. then the PLC may be faulty. I have the name and number of the main distributor for Elos USA. I will find them and send them to you right away.
