OK. So it’s recommended to fill a reservoir first and then use a float switch/ATO to move the water into the sump? Even if I install an overflow drain into the sump, how does this prevent flooding the tank with fresh water? Or are we just preventing a flood of the entire house? Are you suggesting using a small reservoir(2-3 days of evaporated water)?
If this is the case I guess I need to know the best way to slowly move water vertically 13’ out of the reservoir and into the sump. What sort of pumps can handle the head pressure and cycling off/on?
I am still having trouble understanding the mechanical ATO. Can I still use a Float switch from AutoTopoff.com, or does a mechanical ATO require a mechanical switch?
Please forgive my noobescence
