    ATO Auto Refill?

    So I have the Netune solenoid and a few basic floats laying around and I think this would be all I need for Auto-ATO reservoir refill. Right? I plan to have a float at top for solenoid OFF, a float at the bottom for solenoid ON, and a filling fitting with mechanical float shutoff for backup safety. Once operational, I believe a can add a code for dosing pump to fill buffer when refilling also. Am I missing anything? (besides the actual coding....Ill ask that once plumbed!)

    That's all the hardware you need.

    Would I be better off using the FMM module or a BreakOutBox? I have an FMM but only have the two optical sensors that came mounted in the ATK, which the ATK is no longer used so these could be utilized. I can also use some of the dozen basic floats I have with the breakout box and DC port for the Solenoid if programming will allow me to use them in this manner. As for what I’ve been told the BoB switches are for reference coding of other outlets and not programmable alone. Will the 823 DC outputs allow me to progam the ON/OFF switching I need?

    Floats tend to be slightly better IMO in a RODI reservoir.

    Switch states can be called out in code, they are not programmed. Any outlet can use their state mb

    So I can program the DC24 outlet for the solenoid based on the float levels on the BoB from what I’m reading?
