ATO Water Level Floats Issue

Every time my high level float is not high, it turns on my ATO pump.
Both floats are working and indicate properly (the low float is not stuck).
I have not changed my INO in almost a year and this just started occurring with in the last month.
I reset the controller and no change. What else could it be?

Do you mean that you can see it turning green/red on the RA screen when you move the float?

I mean the floats function correctly as indicated by the portal, android or iphone app when I lift them out of the water.
It is acting like the low float is stuck on, but it is not.

So if my ATO high turns OFF right now, the ATO pump will turn on.
It used to wait until the ATO low turned ON, now the water level never gets close to low.

I re-downloaded my INO today and lifted my floats out of the water and they performed as they should.
About 2 hours later I herd my RO unit filling my top off tank. Now, once again every time the top float is not ON the ATO pump running.
Is there something wrong with my Reef Angel head unit?

Check the connections of the ATO port pins on the head unit. Make sure the wires are fully pushed in the connectors and the connectors are connected securely to the head unit. Sometimes a pin and come loose when you plug/unplug wires on the head unit.

Thanks for the thought, everything feels tight and is properly connected. The floats are performing as intended giving the corresponding position to RA, just the ATO pump is operating only based on the high level float.
I have also noticed the screen of the RA unit flickering on and off from the time you turn it on with the knob and the screen off time period.

Well I just opened the android app and hit refresh 50 times and I saw the low toggle, it must be the float.
