This worried me as I use the ATK haha...

Are you saying the optical sensors are garbage? Or just float switches in general? I don't actually use the float switches but I have been using the optical sensors for years. I am always worried in general about auto top offs. Never had one fail but I hear about it all the time.

Sorry to keep the derailing going
