Generally the rule of thumb is to have it high enough to prevent the return pump from blowing bubbles out of the pump and if you don't have a ATO enough to allow for a day or more worth of evaporation
Do you have an ATO hooked up? This chamber is where you accomidate the evaporation of water from the tank.
Yes I would if it is, barely just above the return pumpI have the ATO that came with it. Maybe I will raise it up a bit?
@Westside Guy I adjusted my Reefer 250 over a year just like the user guide says and still had a trickle down the emergency drain. From what others are saying this is the way the system is designed. A lot of Reefer 250 owners have gone to custom installed gate valves and I think that's what I'm going to do.I apologize for bumping this thread but I also have a Reefer 250 with a V3 sump which has been up and running since February. The last 2 months I have been experiencing issues dialing in the the correct water level with Red Sea's main downpipe valve which I like to keep about an inch below the emergency drain pipe and seems stable when I have gone to bed. When I wakeup in the morning the water is overflowing into the emergency drain pipe.
The ATO that came with the Reefer 250 is working properly.
My Vectra S1 pump is running at about 2/3rds power.
Is it possible that my LFS has been adding too much water when they are doing water changes and that is causing the issue? If yes, how do I determine this?
I clean the RS valve that controls the water level monthly and I which I know it is extremely sensitive so I only make very small adjustments.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
