Overview

A dedicated top-off pump is one of the easiest ways to remove the daily chore of manual top-up, but a lot of cheap pumps aren't built to be maintained or protected from running dry. Neptune Systems' PMUP is a 24VDC utility pump designed to plug directly into the DC24 accessory ports on an Apex system's 1Link module or Energy Bar 832, giving you a controllable, monitored pump rather than a standalone unit.

Beyond auto top-off, it's also a handy way to run media reactors without adding much heat or power draw to the system.

Key features

24VDC submersible pump that connects directly to Apex DC24 accessory ports (1Link module or Energy Bar 832)
Enough pressure to push water up around 14 feet vertically - useful for RO/DI storage kept below the tank
Runs on well under 20W, adding minimal heat to the aquarium
Removable screen for easy cleaning and maintenance
Automatic shutoff if it detects it's running dry, plus over-temperature protection
Smooth 3/8" (9.5mm) output that connects easily to silicone tubing or push-fit fittings

Who it's for

Apex owners looking for a reliable auto top-off pump, or a dedicated pump to drive carbon, GFO or biopellet reactors without relying on a return pump tap.

Setup & tips

Requires an Apex with a 1Link module or Energy Bar 832 to power and control it - check you have a free DC24 port before buying
For ATO use, position it vertically in your RO/DI storage container, with bottom intake and top output
Clean the removable screen periodically to keep flow consistent
Keep the minimum water depth requirements in mind for whichever orientation you install it in
