Aqua Hub's ATO

[Awibrandy]

Morning People! Anyone else use the DIY ATO from Aqua Hub? I bought one, and have had nothing but problems. I am trying to figuer out what is wrong. Aqua Hub has been great, they have replaced it twice already. But the same thing keeps on happening.

It works fine for a month or so, then it stops working. I fiddle with it, and it works for a little while then it goes off again.
Anyone else having this problem? And what did you do?

I'm about to chuck it, and just get a JBJ.

Wilda, what type of pump are you using on it? These things have weak power ratings and sometimes fry because of the pump drawing too much power/surging

Good luck with it.

Did you get it with the relay?
How many float switches do you have hooked up to it?
Have you soaked the float switches over night in a vinegar bath?

Thanks for the replies House & Inline!

Jim, you are probably correct. I will get a new relay, and install a maxi on it instead. I don't even remember what power head I have in there, but I know it isn't a little one like the m/j. Thanks for the advice.

Inline, yes I got the relay with it, and two float switch. The float switch are not the problem, they are both clean.
