Hi everyone, I am in the process of setting up an Auto Water Change setup using a DOS and my water station that is in my basement 9-10 feet below my tank upstairs.
I have a two 65 gallon drum that hold my RO/DI and new Saltwater in the basement. On a wall panel I have mounted an energy bar 4 and plan on mounting the DOS. The energy bar 4 will connect to my new APEX EB 832 via an Aquabus running up through a conduit to the upper floor. My mixing pump will power from the EB4. I have not decided if I will power the DOS from the EB4 or run a cable up to the EB832 yet.
With my DOS downstairs high up on the panel I will have the tubing for the old water run to the sump upstairs and then from the DSO to my water softener waste line which goes outside. The tubing from the new saltwater tank will run to the dos and then up to the sump. My question- at my at risk for a siphoning issue?
I plan on keeping the new water tubing above the water line in the sump, but the old water drain line will have to be submerged so theoretically I could imagine a siphon draining out my sump (aquarium). I was thinking of adding a Neptune solenoid to the old water drain line and have it open only during water changes.
Am I missing anything? Anyone see a problem with this?
I am also going to have a PMUP in my RO/DI tank with a line running up to my sump for ATO. I am using the Neptune ATO kit and plan on mounting the FMM downstairs on the panel and connect a leak detector as well as optical sensor in my new saltwater tank to warn me when the tank is down to 5 gallons.
Any advice or pointing out an obvious issue I am not thinking about would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
