I feel like our IT guy who says everything in acronyms! I have a GHL and didn’t want to spend a ton (more) money just to get an auto water change working so I’ve diy’d it together, to a point. I’m using two float sensors on one port. I rigged up some pumps and the whole thing works Until it doesn’t.
I start the change, the drain pump kicks on and empties out just as it should. The top sensor drops, the bottom sensor drops and the drain pump stops. The fill pump kicks on and starts filling, but shuts off about halfway through filling what was taken. The bottom sensor barely begins lifting from its low point before it shuts down. I've increased the maximum on time to what should allow way more than needed, but it still won't refill all the way. I tried the pump as an Always On and it runs as it should. I’ve put the pumps on different switch channels, no love there either.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting from anyone who has tried something similar?
