Also the Avast stand alone is setup with the magnetic holder and the safety shut off float. For the extra money it saves me time by not peicing things together. Like Aquamanic stated, there are people that might not have time or the desire to do the DIY thing. Years ago i would, but i am getting sick of work at 55 years of age.
I believe that i will go with the Avast setup up, with the back up float safety shutoff, and the digital output option (two wire connection) tied to an Apex BOB that i must purchase, and control the ATO pump with a second Energy Bar 8 that I must purchase, Avast setup=$104 / Apex BOB=$40 / Apex Energy Bar 8=$150 / I think i have a 120 VAC pump that i can use. Bottom line - another 3 balloons into the tank set up. LOL. At least i will have future spare Energy Bar Outlets, and future spare BOB inputs. Thank you all for your time and input. Please feel free in giving me your opinion on the route that i am taking.
Thanks again.
Mike
