This is a great way to get into Auto water/changes. It also acts as an ATO. Comes with the two sensors.
I McGyver'd this so there's some options. I have two Auto Aqua smart switches that will allow you to use any pump you want for either drain, fill or ato. Alternatively I have the pumps that I used. These are really high-head pumps that look like a Tunze ato pump. I had the ATO and fresh saltwater containers in another room about 10 feet away. The drain pump went into that room, up to the ceiling and across about 20 feet before emptying in to the washing machine stack with some more creative plumbing Mostly done with 1/4 RO tube and fittings. You can hard wire the pumps to the unit, or connect them to a transformer and use them with the smart plugs. I had them wired in and never had an issue. You will need a total of three pumps and the tubing to hook them up.
Just the unit with transformer and sensors - $150
The unit plus two brand new pumps, a used one, and one of the OEM pumps- $175
The unit with the Smart plugs and any combination of pumps you want - $200
It look like these are OOS on most of the big sites, they may be discontinued. This one worked like a charm for about a year.
Always entertaining trades, would like to find a Crocea clam.
