    Thats why I use float switches and a solenoid valve and not a float valve, much more robust plus I get nice long filter runs and not constant starts and stops which causes TDS creep problems.

    It's not bad at all, the hose comes at an angle so only a small amount of air manages to get in by the time its done with its job.
