    Default auto top off deluxe

    I bought this ATO maybe a year ago. auto top off deluxe

    The low level indicator works. I plug my maxijet 1200 into the plug and the low level indicator

    turns the maxijet1200 on. great. The problem I have is getting the pump to stop pushing water.

    The green light comes on and the power stops to the pump but it still is pushing water.

    Any idears out there?? Thanks

    I have 1 end of the tube above my sump out of the water and the other end in the ro water. When the level indicator turns off power to the return pump but it still

    is pushing the water. Maybe different pump. Im not sure. I may try a different pump later.
