The Neptune MOS (Magnetic Optical Sensor) is the modern upgrade to the original OS-1 Optical Sensor, redesigned with a compact form factor, improved durability, and enhanced waterproofing. Its built-in magnetic mount makes installation effortless, while the silicone-encased external magnet ensures a secure hold on glass or acrylic surfaces up to 1/2" thick. Designed for precise water level control, the MOS is ideal for auto-top-off systems, sump level monitoring, water storage applications, and high-level safety alerts.
Modern & Compact Design – Sleeker, more durable, and built to fit into tight spaces.
Precise Water Level Monitoring – Uses infrared light reflection for accurate wet/dry state detection.
Built-In Magnetic Mount – Strong, easy-to-position mounting system.
Silicone-Encased Magnet – Protects against corrosion and ensures long-lasting strength.
Completely Waterproof – Engineered to resist water intrusion into the sensor body.
Versatile Applications – Perfect for ATOs, sump high-water alerts, or reservoir monitoring.
Aquarium-Safe Installation – Works with glass or acrylic surfaces up to 1/2" thick.
