Yeah that is one I am looking at for sure.I love my tunze 3155! It’s on a 20g and is total overkill but it hasn’t failed me yet going on 4 years now
Interesting! I’ve had my 3155 for 4 years and cleaned it twice during maintenance and once due to moving. No issue at all has been set and forget for me.Tunze is the best. I have used the 3155 for years and it works great. I currently have a osmolator 3 on my larger tank and has been flawless since I started this tank in january. One thing to note is the sensor on the 3155 needs to be cleaned regularly I do it during maintenance just a quick wiping off of the sensor or brush with a soft tooth brush is sufficient. I think if you dont the "scum" or salt builds up on it and causes it to see the water level as higher then what it is. Another way that seems to help if it isnt coming on properly is to direct some flow at it. All my 3155s have had this happen.
Check out the osmolator 3 before purchase.Yeah that is one I am looking at for sure.
Even the float switches can fail. The new osmolator 3 uses a thermal switch as the safety.I wish they still made the jbj units with the mechanical float switches. I have one that's been running for almost 8 years. I wrapped the in sump level sensor in a ladies stocking when I placed it 6 years ago and I have never had to clean it. I always found it a bit funny that so many people prefer the optical switches yet tunze uses a mechanical float switch as the failsafe I have tunze 5017 and a kamoer ato one 2 also and they both work fine but I would have nothing but jbj units if they still made them. I just prefer the mechanical float switches vs the optical ones. But I also prefer a V8 with a 4 speed manual trans so I adapt.
Sure they can and will. I spent my career fixing broken and worn out things. I'm of the mindset everything will fail at some point, it's just a matter of when. IME mechanical switches do not fail because they get a little dirty like some of the optical sensors that's my reason for preferring them. No optical sensor is going to survive 6 years like this and still functionEven the float switches can fail. The new osmolator 3 uses a thermal switch as the safety.
This $90 buck one off Amazon running years without fail. Plugged into a multi timer Amazon $20 which only allows power for 1 minute every hour. That frequency matches the evaporation rate so ensures a fail on, would not overfill.Good morning all, I am in the mayor an ato, and woowhich one is preferred by folks here. My tank is a 90 gallon.
