I'm sorry, but you need to explain more clearly what you're trying to accomplish, and where your pumps and tubing is connected.  From your original post, it sounded to me like you want to use a DOS in place of a traditional ATK, so I assume the DOS is pumping water from a RO/DI reservoir into your sump whenever the sump water level is low.

Separately, you're asking about auto water changes.  Are you doing these changes where water is first drained and then later refilled, or using the built-in AWC task where old water is removed at the exact same time when new water is added?  The latter is the normal method using the DOS AWC task, so in that situation the ATO functions as normal since the water level only changes due to evaporation and no separate scheduling is required.

I want to help, but you need to be 100% explicit in what you're trying to accomplish.

Ok sorry I have lots going on in my brain. 
 

Task 1: AWC using DOS to sump from 65gallon salt reservoir. This concept I understand. Just curious of scheduling alongside with ATO.   

Task 2: Auto top off using DOS with or without existing apex ato. Does water tubing connect to ato near float valve or just drop into sump? This is for replacing evaporated water using 65gallon r/o reservoir. 
 

I have 3 DOS machine total. I understand one  FULL DOS is for AWC, then one head on another machine for ATO.  That leaves me 3 DOS heads for other stuff. 

Both 65 gallon reservoir are located 60 feet away.  No issues with DOS’s pulling that far.

Along with that what settings/programming do you recommend for the AWC on/off cycle during the ATO cycles. Thank you for quick replying so quickly. 

My apex was turned off for a while and now I’m updating all tech to be modernized as well.  I’ll take any info you have and programs.  I only have fish in my tank.  Levels are all stable for now. 
 

Tubing(water) from Doser goes on ato or just into tank?

Add’l tank info:

(2) MP 40

(1) Kessil  h80 with controller

(1) M2 return pump 

I seriously need some programming help. I need to set up ATK with use of doser to supply water over long distance of 60. My salt and r/o reservoir are in garage 65gallons each.  I want to program ATK to turn on separate doser during times AWC dosers not on.  
There’s no issues moving the water through 1/4” . Doser lines have been primed.  

Thank you
