I use an Avast ATO that utilizes a pressure tube along with a float valve back up. I added a neptune optical sensor as an additional backup.

I just received a rebuild kit a couple of weeks ago. It did take a couple of months because they were waiting on part. The price was outrageous. Almost $50 with shipping for some tubing, three rollers, and a couple of fittings.
I have Neptune's ATK system also. It's fed from my own system to fill the rodi reservoir which is controlled by additional optical sensors, solenoid valve, and float valve. Between the optical sensors and float valve in the ATK and ones I added in the reservoir there are multiple layers of redundancy. Couple that with coding options in Apex and I feel pretty safe.My Neptune ATK system has been flawless.
Yes, its called lid.Are there any redundancies or failsafes you can implement to reduce or eliminate the risk entirely?
any float valve, float switch can go wrong with Calcium buildup, snails getting stuck....
I add a float switch and also a timer on my apex so my ATO can only be active for around 45 seconds every 6 hours. Typically my ATO needs around 1-2 min (based on seasons) per day to refill evaporated water, so if it is to get stuck on itll take weeks till it floods the sumps due to the time limit.
O makesure to have a look at water level everyday when I'm in fishroom and have a camera to check water level when I'm away. ideally I should add an addtional low adn high water level alarm to make it more secure.
