I have a Tunze osmolator ATO and use a Banshee 10 gallon RO reservoir. If I fill the reservoir to the top, RO Water will siphon into my sump. The Red Sea ATO has a siphon break(see below). Could I use this on the Tunze osmolator?

If it fits the line/hose. It’s a mechanical part that only allows water to flow one way.

The pump should be strong enough to operate it, that would be the only issue I could think of.

It’s no different than putting a mechanical backup float on your ato line for redundancy.
 
Can you raise the the height of where the line is? It shouldnt syphon if set correctly ato output higher than ato res.
