I’m having issues here that I’m hoping all the smart folk here can resolve.
I have a pump in my sump that is plumbed to a drain.
I have a pump in my salt water container that is plumbed into my sump
I have a pump in my freshwater container that is connected to the apex and operated normally by a float valve in the sump. This is my ATO.
I have a low level panic float in the sump
I have a high level panic float in the sump
I have a low level float in the new saltwater container.
This is what I did and I ran into a problem.
ATO pump off
Sump drain pump on for 10 seconds
Sump drain pump off
Sump fill pump on
Sump fill pump off when ATO float triggered.
When the low level float switch in the new saltwater container is triggered both sump drain and sump fill pumps are set to off.
This is run once a day which exchanges roughly 1 gallon of water.
Here’s the problem I ran into.
Sometimes depending on the volume of water in the NSW container, there will be 1/2 or 1/4 gallon of water in the NSW container before the float is triggered. So the sump drain pump runs for the standard 10 seconds, then when the sump fill pump comes on, it doesn’t fill the sump up the ATO float switch like normal. Which leads to the ATO not turning on.
How can I remedy this?
