Well Digital Aquatics keeps getting better and better. A few months after their announcement for newer modules to your RKE system, today they have released news that they will be shipping out float switches that are compatible with the RKE and RKL controllers. Imagine not needing to buy a very expensive Auto Top Off unit (although, I still swear by my Tunze Osmolator). Imagine having an automated water changes system. Imagine having a self cleaning skimmer. All those things are now possible with these switches.
Here is what DA has to say regarding their new baby:
The new Digital Aquatics float switch kits make configuration quick and easy!
There are countless ways to use these new float switches with either your RKE or RKL system. Program an Auto Top Off (ATO) system, automate water transfers, setup safety alerts for high AND low water levels, skimmer collection cup full alerts and so much more!
Each kit comes with programming instructions and an installation guide to help you get up and running quickly. Our configurable mounting brackets will work with almost any tank or sump application. The floats are fully submersible and made of a long lasting rugged plastic compound that is reef safe. Our mounts are made of aquarium-grade acrylic and are also reef safe, as is all provided hardware.
There will be three kits available:
1:
1 x Float Switch
1 x Switch adapter kit2:
1 x Float Switch
1 x Switch adapter kit
1 x Mounting kit3:
2 x Float Switch
2 x Switch adapter kit
2 x Mounting kit
And the price is right, only 44.99$ for the best Kit (#3). I think that worth investing in a RKE. For me, I will be using it to automate my water changes. One of the last steps for full system automation.

so…. for the diy going cheap guys out there, is there any issue with a timer + aqualifter + bucket approach?

AND TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION.
You can do a cheap setup, for sure. But you still need a controller to turn on and off the pump. Having it on a timer, can be disasterous.
…but for some of us, this is already a part of our daily reefing lives – if you’re running a GHL Profilux that is
Must say the DA range is very well priced, but as they don’t support 220v, I opted for a GHL instead.
Yeah they are geared towards a North American reef market. But they might just want to taste that European pie…
