I use AutoTopOff dot com's auto top off solution on both my tanks and have been for a while now. The thing I like about theirs is that there's a backup shut off switch. You can easily make your own employing the same components and I tried but I could not find those float switches in the city for the life of me. If you can find those float switches you're off to the races. That's pretty much all it is. Mount float switch, when water drops, float switch activates your ATO pump which pumps fresh water into your tank which raises the float switch back to the OFF position. |
+1 on the autotopoff.com units. they are priced well and work well. You could probably build one yourself for a little less but then you have to source the parts, assemble etc. So if you want to spend a little more you can have a plug and play solution.
