Same can apply to floats.. I typically put a "snail guard" around my floats which not only protects from a snail hanging on them but also helps dampen any "waves" in the surrounding water from powerheads/pumps,etc...

Many of the nicer ATO systems have enough hysteresis built in where "waves" aren't an issue but some will just click on/off with each passing wave..
