5 year warranty is awesome, but right off the bat the float switch being on a suction cup worries me. Suction cups don't seem to do well long term for me. My heaters and past pumps that use suction cups usually fall off after a few days.

the 10 second cycle would save you some time from a total overflow though. Other than that it looks great, just wish they used a quality magnet instead.

Nobody likes or uses the hydor smart level? That's the one I've used for the last 2 years with no problems.. It beeps when the water level is too high or reservoir is empty. I like how it's a sensor instead of a float switch.

I have a Hydor Smart on the frag tank and no issues so far about 6 months in...

Tunze ATO - mine is about 5 or 6 years old and had to replace the blue pump once for about $20

On my Nano, I've been running a JBJ w/o any issues but my DT, I'm running the Avast marine. I like that it's a pressure sensor.
