Hello guys,
I have mechanical ATO
(Simple one, float switch completes the circuit when water level falls and the pump fills with fresh RO)
Today I noticed stray voltage (I accidentally touched line tester screwdriver to the water trying to poke the pumps adjustment switch with it )
what’s weird is that when ATO is off ( float is up and circuit isn’t complete) there is a voltage, but if I drop down the float switch to start the circuit voltage disappears.
i don’t understand how is this happening because if there was a leak in the float switch wouldn’t water complete the circuit and start the ATO?
I am really confused, hopefully someone can explain what’s going on. Thanks
