Anyone have recommendations for an ATO for E-260? Worried about pump being strong enough to push water from resivor in cabinet to rear sump 56" up. Thanks in advance.

I'm using a Tunze 3155 in my C-250. I believe the pump can handle any height less than 2 meters.
The 3152 has a maximum conveying height of 78.7 in (2 meters), so it should work fine. Keep in mind that the higher the pump must push, the slower it is at completing top off. Shouldn't necessarily be a problem, but it could cut off before being completely full due to the safety timer built in. I think if you install your sensors right it shouldn't be an issue though.Thanks. Do you think the Tunze 3152 would also work?
Give your skimmer some time, it will function better as the tank maturesThanks for all of the input everyone. I decided to go with the Tunze 3155. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm hoping the ATO will help me dial in my skimmer, which I just can't seem to do. But I guess that is another thread. LOL
What did Tunze have to say about your issues Larry?
It actually started working correctly the next day. Never had to make the call.
Hi Larry, could you post a pic of where you installed the sensor?
I have only had my 260 for a few days and have noticed that the RHS of the sump lowers much faster than the other two sections but the media rack makes it pretty crowded.

Sorry just seeing this. I can post a pic when I get home tonight for sure. I have mine installed in the right hand side of the sump along with my heater. All that is in that section is the return pump, my heater, and the ATO sensor.
Thanks Larry, no sweat. I got my ATO a week early thanks to the magic of Amazon and found it much smaller and easier to install than I thought.
Yours probably looks something like this:

I'm curious as to how you got a heater in there as well. My particular problem is cooling and at the moment, I'm living in denial and looking for options other than a chiller!

Hello, I'm looking to purchase the E 260. Is there somewhere to put a UV if I don't get the sump?
