The JBJ was second hand when I got it but was in very good condition however the timer function stopped working a couple of months after I got it and until yesterday the floats worked flawlessly (second set of floats for it as the first set failed 2 years ago) I have a a powerful but small pump

Sadly I will have to wait til the new year to buy another ATO system I’ll just have to plug and unplug the ATO as needed no big deal atm
