stylaster Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I have a JBJ auto top off and it works fine, but it has a built in feature that it will turn off after 15mins of running. That doesn't give my top off system enough time to refill my sump, so does anyone have an auto top off w float switch that doesn't have a timer safety feature? I would like to trade or purchase Thanks Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Roy go to there web site. I think there is a way to increase the time limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Never mind I guess 15 is the max time limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 How about a larger pump and larger diameter hose from your reservoir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Not sure the distance you have or the "lift" but You can buy the top off float and run that to a cheap pump to the job, I just bought a float from BRS for 9.00 and use the "Toms aqua lift" or something like that( I forget the actual name, but Tom's init-LOL) thats good for a 3 foot lift. Th pump ran 20.00 so the whole package 30.00 and I'm good. I must be missing somthing- LMK, I can shot you a pic of what I got/did PM's best good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grassi Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Or autotopoff.com I use the sump version with 2 switches and works great. I also have a couple of one switch (one is the skimmer collection bucket, the other one in the solana) and they works great. I got the first 1 switch 2 years ago and it is still working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 the jbj top off powers an aqualifter, which then goes into a kalkreactor made by grassi, which then drips into my sump for my makeup water, hence the 15min is just not enough time. ill check out that link thanks guys will let you know what i come acros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
