I've been using JBJ ATO units with mechanical float switches for years and they just work. I cover the float switches with pantyhose when installed and have one that has been in the sump for almost 5 years and never been cleaned so I have faith in them. I do not have confidence in the cool optical sensors. But I'm not really into new high tech stuff. I manually dose, have no controller etc. I'm looking for an ato for a new build and have found that the jbj units are discontinued. Does anyone know of a similar unit that is available. I have used one from autotopoff.com and while it works I'm looking for something a little "cleaner" that doesn't look like a diy.
