i have my freshwater container on a shelf about two feet above my sump, the aqualifter sits on top of the container, putting the aqualifter about three feet above my sump.The aqualifter is plugged into my auto top of controller. when the aqualifter comes on it pumps freshwater into my kalk reactor that is on the floor next to the sump. this causes the kalk reactor to build up pressure, pushing fresh lime water into my sump at a fast drip.
The problem is when the aqualifter turns off, it creates a suction, therfore it still feeds freshwater into the reactor. Which makes it keep dripping lime water into the tank, but at a much slower rate.
yesterday when i put more kalk into the reactor before i caught the problem my ph jumped from 8.0 to 8.46.
is there anyway to break the siphon so it doesnt keep feeding the reactor?
thanks.......
