DIY ATO?


Been Mired

Recommended Posts

For only ten bux I bet this would keep something topped off... just not accurately enough to maintain salinity, right?

What else could you see getting in the way of pulling this off successfully as a DIY? 

Tee-hee, the brand is "Dare-o-matic"... anyone Dare me to try it? :lol:

Check out this thread. I've made two of these DIY auto topoffs and they were about $10 in materials and then just added the aqualifter pump. Pretty easy build as well. works great and saved about $100.

B/c I've had my aqualifter fail / a tube come off, and not have the proper consideration for failsafe... I would like to remind everyone: 

NOTE: this project deals with electricity in sufficient quantities to damage equipment, harm livestock, cause fires, and even KILL YOU. I am going to be as clear and concise as possible, but if you are at all unsure about what is shown here or you are not 100% confident in your ability to work with electricity, DO NOT attempt anything here. This is no joke.

🤦
