Can I cut Trident waste line?

[iReefer12]

So, what is the reason for not being able to cut the waste line down? I get why you can’t cut the sample line, but the waste line should not really matter right?

Anyone done this and it been okay? Anyone know why I should not?

perhaps the back pressure of the line is important.

Just throw the extra into the waste reservoir

I’ll bunch it up just above the drain reservoir. Wish I could just cut it. Thanks for the input.

In theory this shouldn't matter, as the waste line is only for purging the sample reservoir, and putting the waste line into a deep container would give you a bit of backpressure as well. Calibration _should_ zero out any feed rate differences, but who knows.

I've been tempted to tee the Trident line into my AWC waste line. I already feed from my secondary sump closed loop which is under pressure.
