JBJ ATO or Apex

Yes, as long is the switch is set in that direction. I would test it first.

set off
If SW1 CLOSED Then ON

Yes, Thats what I did. I would definitely set the other as a safety shut off though.

I have it and it's set up but it takes forever to shut off the pump. Over a minute... Figured it would be instant.

is that with the pump hooked up and running? It takes some time for it to show up on the fusion that its shut off. I was thinking the same thing when I tested mine without the pump hooked up. Hook up the pump and do a water test. Mine shuts off instantly.

I got it finally! I figured out what I was doing wrong! Only set up one switch because I can't find the suction cup that came with the jbj float switch but as soon as I find a replacement I'll set up the second one! Thanks again for all your help!

No Problem, I am happy to help. I wouldn't feel comfortable not having a safety backup switch though. Maybe only keep a small reservoir with RO for now. Just incase the switch fails. You don't want to dump 50g of fresh water in your tank. You can also have the apex text you with an alert if the second switch is triggered. You can read a lot of cool stuff on the apex forum

Thanks I'll set it up so if the pump is on for more then 3 minutes it'll text me. I do 3 minutes because I'm using the defer 2:00 option.
