Thanks for all the advice.
I think the easist is to just keep the pump running 24/7 and reduce the flow as Tom R suggested. The problem with making any mods with the GroTech filter is I need metric plumbing supplies.
Here is a link to a mod similar to what andestagg is describing: http://zeovit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3500 (sorry it is in Spanish but has nice pictures).

You can also just run the pump 24/7 but cut the flow rate significantly.
Sorry I would suggest you post on Zeovit.com to get possible flow rates

How about just attaching a rubber glove with fingers cut off on the output of the pump?
This will allow a water flow only one way in to the reactor and will (theoretically) prevent from draining back when pump is off.
At least it worth a try imo.
