    The ato need a bit of tweaking depending on what you use for a pump. It was a built in time out feature of 60 seconds, that can be reprogrammed to 355 seconds. I was using an aqualifter so you can imaging why this was a issue lol.
    Other than that, you gotta build something to mount the switches to. Pretty easy. Now they have new sensors that are fool proof as well. Its pretty ingenious.

    tthe little float sensors is what i use, but they have pressure sensors now that cant be sabotaged by snails. Matt Rogers posted an article about it.
