I have a JBJ ATO system. Scenario - float switch in the sump return pump chamber drops, signals the controller to activate the pump in the reservoir. Lights come on on the controller, pump activates, but no water flows. I manually jiggle the float, and the water flows. Then it will work fine for days, then repeat scenario. Second scenario - same as above, but water still doesn’t flow. I manually refill, jiggle the float, etc. until it works. Again, it wil function properly for a while, then repeat all the above.
There are no snails, no salt, no algae. Water tubing end is not submerged.
I have changed the float switch twice. I have changed the pump. I have moved the float farther away from the return pump. The controller itself seems to work ok. The first pump I had was submerged in the reservoir. The second pump is a Tom’s Aqualifter. Distance the water travels is approximately 24” vertical. Reservoir sits next to the sump, outside the cabinet.
I am hopeful that someone can help me figure out what’s wrong. I contacted the company already with no response.
Thanks!
