Overflow non flood device

[medican]

hello......

Thats a great idea, so good that I was going to do the same thing to my tank. Then I got to thinking......... .......... I will be using a CPR 102 overflow and it is made to restart by using a powerhead to suck the air out of the top to start the siphon again. Now if the power goes out it will drain the back of the overflow trip the float switch and shut down the pump, now when the power goes back on and the pump does not start the over flow will not fill and it will not start to flow till you fix it.......

Now if you put the float in the sump and set it up right, if the siphon does not start with the powerhead the sump will drop and then shut down the pump.......

I plan to use two methods of restart @ the same time, powerhead and a new suction pump they make for these things sits outside the tank they will back up each other as well as a float in the sump.......
