tunze osmolator nano help

[Goober]

so I just picked up a tunze osmolator and notice that the float switch is attached onto the sump wall by a magnet. my concern is with the exposed magnet. should I silicone it up so the magnet has no chance of leaking or should I use it as it? I've heard to many horror stories about magnets crashing a system. any input will be greatly appreciated thanks!

Here's what I'm talking about

If I'm not mistaken the tunze ato has the one side that goes in the water coated with black. The magnet that goes on the outside is bare like that. Did you buy it new and maybe mixed up the magnets?

 

[Goober]

Got it brand new here are both sides side by side

I guess the nano is different. This is the magnets on the 3155 like I mentioned. I would seal it, you can never be to cautious especially with magnets.

Gotcha thanks for the input I'm gonna see if I got the wrong magnets then go from there

So apparently they are rust proof magnets the same type they use on their pumps. Wish me luck!

I got the same one. Had it for 6 months. No rust

Dang, i didn't know they were like that. Lemme know if I can help ya on that. If the magnets are German rust poof ones, then it shouldn't and I guess you can visually check and see it if it does instead of it being seal behind black silicone or plastic like many other magnets in this industry are.

I wouldn't use it...let me test it for you before you put in your tank.

It's already in the tank James. I hear you're having issues with your apex. Let me have it for a few months to do quality control on it
