Question: my two tanks are connected by a small gravity flow tube. Not worried about overflow, but I get inconsistent flow and water level in the upper tank. When that happens my Apex shut off my ATO to prevent overflow. How I solve inconsistent flow is to block the tube for a few seconds and an air bubble escapes and normal level and flow return. What is interesting is this only happens in the late afternoon. I thought a small hole would allow the air to escape and keep normal flow?
Thoughts?
