I’ve been running the Neptune DOS for awhile now.

Pelphrey you still running yours and how has it been?
Hello. I also ready the entire thread here. I have check valves on the output sides as well. I am using standard RO tubing and Ro check valves. I have noticed that when the pump stops it drips into my sump for about 5 seconds than stops. Not sure why it does this. I have noticed some air bubbles getting in as well. Any advice on this?
That is correct. Unfortunately, I have no way of having the liquids level or below the sump in my situation. As for if they are fully sealed I have checked them multiple times and do not see anything that could be considered "not sealed". For some reason they do not seem to "hold" the liquid in place even with the check valves on the outputs. I am however thinking of replacing the tubing with smaller tubing instead of using the 1/4" OD I am using right now that works with my dosing containers. I also am using John Guest check valves so I am not sure they are working properly as well. I have posted pictures of the current setup.
UnderstooD. I have a Neptune DOS I have used before and it didn’t present this problem.
Where or what is a siphon break and where can I get one? I still have a single doser as well I might try using with a single container.

I have tried a number of options.
I now ordered some air check valves and will try those as well.
Derrick,
Slightly off topic question, but are those 1/4 check valves the cheaper generic John guest valves or the more expensive one's (~$13 each)? They look like the cheaper ones, but thought those had a high crack pressure and wasn't sure if this pump could drive that pressure.
