Problem with JBJ A.T.O.

[iloveswfish]

I have a 55 gallon tank and I am having a problem with the water in the reservoir tank reaching the DT.

I have sensor 1 in the DT. Sensor 2 in the reservoir tank on the floor.

It reaches the DT but only dribbles out.

Can someone help

My guess is you need a bigger pump. The head pressure is to great for the pump your using to pump from the floor up to the tank.

That is what I think would you say a maxi jet 1200

 

[Eric G]

I would think that would work. How high are you pumping the water?

 

[iloveswfish]

Three feet

 

[Eric G]

That should work. I would have some kind of back flow preventer just in case.

I do I have a check valve on the hose to the tank
