Hey guys, any of you have experience with using the Prism ATO? I noticed that it would only start to refill until it went below the third, final eye on the rod. Any suggestions, and is this to be expected?

I have one on my frag tank and that is my experience as well. If you want less variance in water level, you could turn it diagonally. I’ve tried that and it didn’t alter performance or functionality in any way.Hey guys, any of you have experience with using the Prism ATO?

I wonder why. Sounds like a defect with the device. Is that vendor active here in this forum?I have one on my frag tank and that is my experience as well.

I think the sensors are just that far apart. Nothing wrong with the device and it works reliably and consistently for me.I wonder why. Sounds like a defect with the device. Is that vendor active here in this forum?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the device works, but it only starts to fill up when the water level goes below the device itself (third sensor). What would the purpose be for the first two sensors if it only fills up once it goes below the length of the device itself? I'd imagine it would only need one sensor if that were the case. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding how it works.I think the sensors are just that far apart. Nothing wrong with the device and it works reliably and consistently for me.
The bottom sensor triggers the pump to turn on. The second sensor tells it to stop. The third one at the top is emergency back up.Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the device works, but it only starts to fill up when the water level goes below the device itself (third sensor).

Makes perfect sense, I wasn't thinking we'll haha. Emergency backup, does that mean siphon back into the reservoir because the water level is too high?The bottom sensor triggers the pump to turn on. The second sensor tells it to stop. The third one at the top is emergency back up.
I think it is just in case the second sensor fails for any reason. Redundancy.Makes perfect sense, I wasn't thinking well haha. Emergency backup, does that mean siphon back into the reservoir because the water level is too high?
Makes sense! Thanks for that.I think it is just in case the second sensor fails for any reason. Redundancy.
