I know the importance of water quality and I have been thinking about installing an automatic water change system. I can use all the help I can get. Anyone currently using one or have used in the past?

I believe they have kits for drip systems. But from what I understand you basically need a water source preferably ran through a carbon filter of some sort to eliminate the chlorine and chloramines. Then from there you run hose, or tubing with a valve to adjust the flow rate to your tank. And you will also need an overflow either in the tank or in the sump so that the old water can be drained as you feed in new water. I'm sure there are other ways but this is just something I plan on trying on my setup

Did you mean drip system or auto water changer

People get confused by the two

Sounds like a giant pain. You would have to tinker with flow rate too often. Too much could go wrong.
