Auto water top up system

[Adrianli]

Hi Guys

I have set up my own auto water top up system for my marine tank. The process is shown at the gallery. Here is how I do it.

1. Bought a float switch for S$20 at Sim Lim Tower.

2. Got a used pump and cut its wires as shown in the pics.

3. Connect the float switch and pump as shown in the pics.

4. Place the float switch in the sump at the desired position.

5. Get a pail with pump and hose connect to the tank.

6. Wow lah !!! There you have it, as simple as ABC.


Now no need to top up the water daily!!! As I am using a fan to cool down the water, the sump level get very low very fast everyday. Now just have to top up the water in the pail (reservoir) weekly only.

If you guys got any comments, feel free to ask me. Just reply this post.
