    What's the head height from the bucket to where the ato fills? Does it fill into your display?

    It's the JBJ autotop off system and not the pump. Like posted before if you take the cover off of the unit there will be a dial to set how long it runs at one time. I believe it max out at 15 mins. Once it exceeds that time the JBJ system shuts off and will need to be unplugged to reset and will only run the max each time before it shuts off again. If you're using the JBJ for water changes or large volumes water top offs you will want to use a higher rated pump.

    Said perfectly! I needed to get an extra AquaLifter and daisy chain them together because the 15 min limit was not enough time.
