Hello everyone,
I have a drilled tank and the return is just a straight pipe with a 90 degree elbow over the overflow wall and an attached spraybar. The spraybar is just 1/2 inch PVC with a couple of T joints in it with three loc-line(i think that's what they are called) nozzles spraying just under the surface of the water. The last time the power went out my spraybar and return began to act as a siphon and flooded water into my sump and overflowed the thing. It wasn't a lot b/c the nozzles are only underwater a little bit, but it was enough to create quite a mess. Since a lot of you have a similar setup I was hoping you could suggest a quick and easy fix to this problem other than moving the nozzles above-water. Thanks for the help everyone.
