Need a new ato

[hiimsean]

My old Tunze has been crapping out on me, the optical sensor doesn’t recognize low water level. Should I stick with Tunze or try something else?

If cleaning the optical sensor doesn't fix it, it can be replaced. If it's fairly new, you can just order one. If it's older, you can send it back to Tunze and they will replace it, because it needs calibration. I prefer Tunze because of the back up float.

It is quite old, I bought it used at least 4 years ago maybe more.

I've read so many things about how frustrating optical sensors can be. I definitely prefer the ones with float switches.
