| I actually really like it. It has a built-in buzzer, so when it turns the pump on (you plug your pump into it) you hear a noise to alert you. I think you can open the unit and desolder the buzzer to silence it.
It comes with two floats, there are like three different combinations you can use to setup the floats. I'm only using one float in my return. you can use two floats, one in the return and one in your top off bucket...that way the pump won't run if the top off bucket water level is too low. and then there's a way to setup both floats in the return for max and min levels. Of course, you could put the floats in your tank...I just have mine in the return.
I have an aquaclear 20 powerhead plugged into mine with some hose to the return section. I have the powerhead sitting in a 5 gal bucket. doesn't take long to top off once it kicks in. Granted, the JBJ runs somewhere around $100 I think.
