    I'm in need of a peristaltic pump recommendation for an auto top-off setup. I've got an RO resevior in the basement, and would like to "pump" the water up stairs. In total, the line would be ~20 feet.

    I've been looking at the Bulk Reef Supply model, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas.

    Thanks.

    I use this complete ATO system myself. The sensor is amazingly accurate and it also has a backup float switch for high high shutoff. The peristaltic pump is the same 3 roller metal pump used in the popular Liter Meter that has been around for years and years.

    Interesting.

    Only problem is, I was very interested in one of the Reef Angel controller systems, so was looking for an independent pump that could be used with that.
