Fell asleep when makeing water

that's genius... simple and effective, i love it

 

Luna, I have my ro running into a res. with a float valve. I have a float switch in my sump that controls the pump from my res. to my sump. The way I see it, I would have to have a really bad day for both of these to fail.

 

After 2 messes I use this on my RO reservoir to shutoff my RO unit (this is not an ATO, it's just for my RO bucket):
Auto Shut off Kit for RO Systems Bulk Reef Supply

And something like this as backup to set off an alarm if it senses water on the floor:
LeakFrog

 

Yup I've done it while I was awake and done it many times now I put my 5 gallon bucket in side a brute bucket. I've learned the wet way

 

I just made the video and am waiting for it to up-load on youtube. It will also be in the Article section to the left of your screen when finished loading.

where was this video an hour ago? lol. guess who overflowed his water.....................again. yup me, went to lfs and got talkin , and then with a gun to my head by daughter bought a coral , and came home and had an overflow. lol. guess its time to idiot proof the idiot now.

 

Good idea, Luna. If you don't use an ATO, then this is the perfect solution for those who are apt to forget they started filling a vessel some time ago. Like me!! I'm the master of forgetting. I've done it many times, and no matter what I do, it seems--there's no cure.

Your alarm will work wonders--providing there's someone within ear range when the thing goes off. Guys like divott, though--he'd be outta luck.

That's the beauty of an ATO. Set it and TRULY forget it. Again: if executed properly, a correctly thought-out ATO system saves headache, and need for alarm systems to notify you that you've forgotten something.
