Not if you use a solenoid before the t-barb that is set to open when it flushes. Just spit balling here...
I'd flush it with Kalk.I meant you only need the check valve if putting a T into the tubing. no need for check valve otherwise.
When I was messing around thinking about it, I came up with another product!
I may actually market one of these.
probably another container of RODI would be better/easier to flush with instead of tank water.
great idea! I could just hook my Parlastirrer in-front of it!
This is how mine is set up but with RODI instead of tank water (lots of bacteria in tank water). Also both pumps are in the fridge due to space requirements.I meant you only need the check valve if putting a T into the tubing. no need for check valve otherwise.

I'm looking at peizo cooling blocks to circulate coolant in pipes around a food container to make a 'fridge' unnecessary. I want the whole thing to be only a little larger then the food container. I have the smallest stepper motors (28BYJ-48) I could find a doser head for
I was working on a similar idea for a phyto auto doser. I was going to work three Kamoer style pumps, 1 would pump phyto into the tank, one would pump tank water to clear the line, the third would add fresh saltwater to top off the phyto culture. Seems like a good way to crash a culture though...I meant you only need the check valve if putting a T into the tubing. no need for check valve otherwise.

We have so many similar ideas. I was considering doing this to my sump (years ago when I ran MH) in an effort to cool the tank without running a chiller. I switched to LEDs instead.
Ys, but the tank water would be downstream of the food and, with a check valve in place, it shouldn't affect the food?
Only worry is tank water in a tube means bacteria setting up a biofilm inside the tubing. Might be inevitable in any case, but RODI would probably make it less of an issue with changing out tubing. If your liquid food isn't "theoretically" clean like Reef Nutrition food, say phyto culture, then probably doesn't matter anyway.
You will love glass blowing… I did if for years in college and miss it.I am going to try a new thing. One day a month I do something I wouldn't normally do. I know that sounds silly but it all started when I went to Fiji, something clicked. October was Tennessee Then I took a pottery class in November. December was open. January is wolves. Feb is glass blowing.
What to do this month...
Then it found me. Gummies anyone?
