Azilla you need to restrict the outflow so the siphon tube fills completely rather than draining before forming a siphon. You can do this by either using a smaller diameter siphon tube, or placing a ball valve on the downstream side of the siphon tube below the bottom water level of the surge device.

Can u draw me a quick diagram and email it to me at

Sorry Azilla I'm not familiar with drawying/art type programs to send you a diagram.

Just to explain the idea, for the surge to work the siphon must fill. Once the siphon tube fills up it will empty the surge device. The problem lies when the surge device is filled up too slowly and the siphon never forms, instead water just runs down the siphon tube without filling it.

Anyway just try a higher flow pump to fill your surge, or a smaller diameter outlet (siphon) tube from your surge.

Maybe try gluing your plumbing.

its all glued

just a question, did you have you outlet submerged?

Steve

yup i got it working now. Well sorta anyways took me hours lol :eek:

what is the secret that fixed your problem? Just incase any of us go thru the same thing.

LOL I really cant say alot of moving the head in the water up and down side to side. Its not workin 100% proper but it surges. ABout every 2mins it will surge for 13 secounds. I will take some snap shots and show u all
