hygger HG-987 Aquarium Auto Top-Off System

Attention: To prevent siphoning, the soft outlet hose should be higher than the water surface. Hygger smart ATO is designed to refill water automatically and drain water manually. Can be installed in a cabinet filter or directly on the aquarium edge. Connect the water pump, external sensor, and power supply to monitor and it’s ready to go. Build in two sensors, the monitor provides overfilling protection. When the water goes below the minimum water level, the power will be activated, the pump automatically works, and cut off once the water level reaches the maximum. Once it occurs below situations, it makes a loud beeping noise to warn you.

  1. The bucket, where the water pump is placed, is out of water.
  2. The water pump’s electric wire is loose.
  3. The external sensor is out of water.
  4. The water level is higher than the auto top-off. Please read this manual carefully before using it and follow the instructions carefully.
