Tunze Replacement Pumps?

[YHSublime]

My ATO Tunze pump went out (within 6 months of buying, serves me right for getting used.) I'm manually topping off right now, but I know I can buy replacement pumps for about $25. 

 

Question is, has anybody used something else besides the tunze pump and wired it in? I've heard these are the cream de la creme of top-offs, but It's been pretty meh for me so far.

Reach out to roger with tunze. His customer service is awesome. He will get you squared away. He probably can’t warranty a used one but can you a new one fairly quickly.

Been using the Avast ATO with their diphram pump for many years (even being stored for 5 years unused) and it works like it did the first day I bought it. Then again I have had a Tunze ATO and it worked well too, but the design of the Avast was better to me with it just having a tube that senses pressure instead of a moving float switch.

I like the tunze ato a lot. I appreciate being able to dial down the stock pump for the desired flow. On a small tank, this is a good feature. It does require opening the unit, but it let's you do it.

 

If you really want a different pump you could get a 50ml BRS pump and this

 

OSMOLATOR SWITCHED SOCKET OUTLET

I would just buy a new $25 replacement pump. They sell them on Amazon, and you'll get it quick with free shipping.

From what I’ve read, the included tunze pump is a dc pump. You can wire any dc pump ( like litremeter) directly. But for any ac pump, then you’ll need the osmolator switch socket. At the socket price of $80, you can buy 4 replacement pumps.

I've got a new pump on the way, topping off by hand has been a PIA.

 

Anybody with this unit notice that the power cord doesn't go in all the way? Or is that just me?

Mine is this way also. Haven't had any issues
