Apex ATK Automatic Top-Off Kit

Apex ATK Automatic Top Kit

You can be certain any product launched from Apex will be of a very high standard.  The ATK again stands out from all other similar products on the market with three layers of redundant monitoring and water-level control for that extra peace of mind.  In addition to this, the ATK can be used as a stand alone unit on any aquarium OR for the ultimate in control, can be added to your existing Apex system.

ATO or Automatic Top Off systems as they are known are there to keep the water parameters more stable with small regular top ups of RO water, to help keep conditions within the reef aquarium stable and consistent.  This makes life easier for when evaporation top ups are needed and without the hassle of using buckets and other ways of topping up.  By using small regular top ups with the ATK, it also prevents shock to the aquarium system by preventing sudden changes to the water parameters.

Although Automatic Top Offs are great for keeping the systems constant, they can also be one of the leading reasons for catastrophic aquarium failures or floods.

The ATK from Apex goes above and beyond when it comes to monitoring and water-level control with three layers of protection!  

1.  A BackUp Optical Sensor - If the main water level sensor fails and water reaches the level of this backup sensor then the pump will shut down

2. IQ-Fill - Water run-time intelligence.  -  Now if both the main and the backup optical sensor of the ATK Apex fail then the algorithm used will not add more than double the learned water amount.  Not only will it shut down the pump, but it will also sound an alarm!

3. Physical Float Valve.  -  If all else fails then the mechanical float valve will rise and cut off water from entering the aquarium system.

Apex owners can benefit from being able to connect the ATK direct to their existing system - ANY model of Apex!  Simply connect up with the Apex AquaBus Cable and then run the set up task inside the Apex Fusion.  NOW you can get texts, emails or iOS alerts if there is an emergency and you can integrate its operation into other functions.

Also features two accessory ports to add optional features.  The FMM Module included with this Apex ATK has four ports for sensors and probes.  The ATK only uses two of these ports meaning there are two free ports which can be used for optional purposes such as Leak detection using the Apex Leak Detection Probe.  If a leak is detected then the ATK will shut down and sound the alarm!    Or Optional sensors are available that will monitor your flow through the plumbing in your aquarium!  Keeping an eye on emergency drains, setting the levels on your various reactors and filters or watching the flow to your RODI.

Plug and play ready. No mounts to assemble. No bare wires to attach.

3 Levels of Safety Protection!

Two optical water-level sensors (one for water level and one for emergency back up)

IQ-Fill water run-time intelligence – learns how much water you use at each top-off

Mechanical float valve prevents water overrun if electronics should ever fail

Does NOT rely on ANY fault-prone mechanical float switches, temperature sensors, or capacitive sensors!
