Default Re: Water top off!


You could do that, but in my opinion it may be risky as the flows from pumps and though valves will alter over time. Let me think about this.......................

If you put the ball valve ( or whatever you use to engage the top up device ) in the main tank, use a timing device on the Tunze Wave making device so that it turns off for 30 minutes or so per day, using the same timer to turn on your top up pump which will of course also be regulated by whatever water level valve you are using. After 30 mins ( or so ) the whole thing changes back again.
