I’m setting up my kalk stirrer and it backsiphons into the ATO reservoir. How do I stop this?

If I lower the kalk stirrer (or raise the ato reservoir) it will flow continuously even after the pump shuts off.

the best thing would be a check valve right? How do you find the right one for the tunze osmolator which uses metric tubing?

thanks in advance

I ordered the Tunze check valve for my osmolator and it's doing great.
Non-return valve water - Tunze

It's a bit tight on the stock tubing, but you just need to heat the tube with an hair dryer for a minute and it'll be fine.
