I #%^@ screwed up

[Clink51]

just venting a bit...

Unplugged my Toms pump from the ATO directly into the wall because apparently it was screwing up a bit and needed to get water to the right level before work... well... i forgot to unplug it :banghead::banghead::banghead: so at right bout now, my living room should have about 5-7 gallons on the floor and the salinity in my tank should be a flipping mess....


YEY WEDNESDAY!!!

Damn. Aren't you in an apt? That shart probably went to your downstairs neighbor.

That happened to me and ended up paying 600 in damages.

nope. i live in a house. but still... the TOMS is also gonna end up burning out

Tom's aqualifters are pretty good with consistent running even without water. You shouldn't have a problem.

left work early, went home. Nothing flooded thank jeebus. The aqualifter was extremely hot to the touch, had i left it connected all day, who knows what would have happened

That is why my ATO is in my apex and only goes on every 8 hours for 3 min at a time

Tunze osmolator is awesome but the alarm is extremely annoying and can't adjust the sound.
