Ulta simple ato

[DonW]

Ive reveived a few pm's and emails asking for simple ato designs. The goal was to come up with a design anyone can make. A low voltage design with no cords or power transformers (wall warts). No soldering and no relays to install.
So here it is and only 2 vdc. A timed ato that is very simple. Just connect a float or series of floats to the orange and pink wires. Don't cut the wires just tap into them. Drill a hole for the float wires and your done. Set the timer for the period that you want the ato to operate. For example you want to top off only at night with kalk, set the timer to turn on at 8pm and off at 8 am and the ato will only run during those hours.

You get the timer at wal mart and the float from float switches.net. Its just a simple diy for those that are afraid of wiring and dont wand to spend any real money. The timer is a ingraham. Notice the buttons, any timer with that configuration will work fine. Timex also makes the same unit.
