![]() What is the best way to run your ATO water line so that there is no siphoning once the pump shuts down?
I set up my Tunze and after the first run it kept a small trickle until it emptied a gallon or 2 into the sump.

![]() My tunze pump, and ato tank level, are both lower than the sump water level
If your ato tank is higher than your sump level, you may get away with a long loop that is higher than the ato tank level |

![]() I have that issue sometimes with my tunze. It's weird though... Mine will be fine from the time I fill up my bucket, to the time I fill it again...But right after I fill it it always seems to siphon for some reason, and then automatically stops. It's the wierdest thing.

![]() These are the little things that, generally, are not available except by mail, in the great city of Yellowknife. But I will check it out. May have something in a box somewhere LOL

![]() Water pressure does funny things
Filling your ato probably pushes some water out the hose |

![]() If you need to lengthen your hose, I'm sure someone at Can Tire can find you a connector with a hose sample
