Moving away from PMUP pumps - Tired of failure

[14 foot reef]

Has anyone tried any of these 24v pumps to use instead of the PMUP's from Neptune ?

Thanks for any advise. Looking to use these for AWC

Did you know you can just use any regular ac pump? Forget about the special 24v dc outlet the PMUP uses. Any standard outlet on your apex power bar can be programmed for use with the auto top off kit. I just use a small sicce pump on mine. You can just copy/paste the same code from the advanced tab of the 24v dc outlet after running the ATK task wizard and paste it to one of your energy bar outlets that you want to run the pump on.

Reliable idk of works without the rest of the ato. But tunze is the gold standard to ato

But tunze is the gold standard to ato

I don’t know about that… I think they are the most popular, but there are superior products out there IMO. The Avast Parrot ATO, for example. I like that the Parrot uses a pressure differential switch rather than the error-prone optical sensors everyone else uses. I’ve also read a lot of bad reviews on the Tunze pump and think it may suffer some of the same quality issues the PMUP does.

Since the OP has an Apex, there is no need to be bound to a particular ATO system configuration and they can use any pump on the market. If I want a high quality pump, I know where to look, and its not Tunze or Neptune. Its an actual pump company

Yes but they are all full need 24 volt

I love my avast ATO. I would highly recommend it!

Jokes aside, have you considered a peristaltic pump? There may be more options since most all of them are DC powered.
