which ATO to go with????

[ripped tide]

I have a few osmolators. They are great! I just bought another one from SEA, the other day.

I bought a used Tunze from a fellow forum member about a year ago and it has worked flawlessly. Have never even had to prime the pump when changing out water containers like he said I might.

When I Googled tunze pump, I was amazed of how many horror histories come out, about having problems with pumps, not trying to disagreed, that will come if any Googled that.

I built one for less than $50. Been working flawlessly for well over a year.

Did you look up the Osmolator?

If you want increased flow, don't use the tubing provided by tunze. I have used standard 1/2" vinyl tubing and the pump moves water a lot faster

I love my Osmolator and I've never had a problem with it.

Good to know! I have read this one now too. Thanks

Another big positive for the Osmolator. I had a control unit fail on one, but it was under warranty and replaced by the usual fantastic Tunze Customer Service.
