I have that one, works pretty good for the money. keep an eve on the float switch mine sticks every once and a while leaving it off. I have a 10 gallon aquarium as the reservoir.

Check out Autotopoff.com

Way more versatile than the JBJ unit, and you can save some bucks on it too with the secondary float switch.

Just in case the first one fails.

I think they were a site sponsor at one point in time as well?

Is it just me or are the Autotopoff.com sensors awful big and ugly to be hanging in a tank?? I am looking for something a little less obvious, a little more stealthy am I asking for too much?

any suggestions??
