quick aqua lifter math question

[matt.radich]

I just wanted to double check with everyone. I am going to do an aqualifter for my ATO setup, instead of a float switch. I currently lose 1.125 gallons per day on my tank. The aqua lifter pumps 3.5 gallons per hour. Therefore you get an answer of .32 of an hour right? And if so that would come out 19.2 mins out of the hour right? I just want to make sure that my math is correct at this hour lol. Just let me know what math you guys are doing and if my math is correct.

Looks right to me. Aqua lifters are not super accurate so you may have to adjust this based on your pumps actual flow

 

[matt.radich]

yeah? Ok I may want to try and get one here locally because I am headed out of town for a few days next week. Haha I really need to get on that

 

[BPreefer]

Another member was looking for one also, I think someone said keys island had some. May not be local enough for you though.

Yeah, I called Key's before I posted the last time and they had some. I did not get price though

Matt I have a jbj ato you can borrow while your out of town. Or an aqua lifter if you'd rather do it that way

 

[daveydoodle]

ever have any problems with that JBJ ATO? That's the one I'm looking at getting. is it fairly simple? Plug and play?

 

[tlsrcs]

Well iv never used it I need to baffle my sump I just have not had the time. But I did tinker with it and it seems very simple

Why dont u just get a float switch there like 10 bucks , your evap rate will change daily dependant on ambient humidity's and temperature.
