JBJ A.T.O. Question??

[Wolverine57]

Does anyone knows the recommended pump for a A.T.O.
In my search, I only found recommended 2 Amps.

OKay, what does 2 Amps= in model, GPH

Thank you!

2 AMPS??? That incorrect. A Sequence Dart runs 2820 gph at 1.4 AMPS. I use a maxijet 900 (230 gph) for my ATO. An auto top off should slowly add water to a sump so that it does not drastically disturb the salinity of the water.

So a Maxijet 600 would be sufficient, yes!

it also depends on how high the water will have to travel or how long....

That absolutely correct. You have to take head pressure into account.

I had a 5 gl bucket of RODI water right next to my sump. The water only traveled about 2 ft up and then down 2 ft into the sump. A MJ 900 worked very well.

Thanks guys, I found out that with either a maxijet 600 or 900 will do the job!
