thanks WE$.....

So last night I got my ATO in place and i had the resevoir higher than the sump...i was doing maintanence on the tank when it finally switched on...so i watch the water get pumped into the sump and it didnt stop once it reached my desired level..it keep going :eek: so i unplugged the pump before i had to go out and buy more bounty.....after checking and rechecking the switches and wiring and stuff i realized that the bucket being higher was creating a ciphon :arg: :fishhit: so i lowered the bucket and tested it and it works fine now... :biggrin:

You belong on 'Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?". I think that siphon question would have been in 1st grade science. :iamwithst

Good catch before it emptied completely :rolleyes:
