Another issue you might have is kalk back syphoning into your ATO water holding reservoir. I bring this up because its a problem that I have been having and if your fresh water tanks are using the same reservior they could end up being supplemented with kalk too... I've tried adding a small check valve. It jammed open within a few weeks so I dont know what you can do to prevent this.

I've used the new tunze check valve, it's worked well.

Thanks I'll have to take a look and see if I can find one of those. I used a Mur-Lok check valve. It added a lot of resistance and then became plugged pretty quickly. I tried cleaning it a few times but it just kept sticking open.
