Water level in sump

[TriggerFinger]

Is the “max water level” sticker on the sump just a suggestion or is it marked to keep the tank from blowing out or something? My 2 year old removed the sticker...

It’s just a suggested level, I ignore mine and run return section water level at my preference

Ive only made my own sumps so dont know how they come but its probably there for a reason, that being if your return pump power goes out water from the DT will flood back into the sump. Therefore you should leave some give in the sump in case that happends so it wont flood. If that makes sense

;Joyful This made me laugh out loud. Toddlers and tanks. Do you have a general idea where it was? I would think the max line would be to prevent overflows. What kind of sump is it?

A weird one. It’s an eshoppes. Water level seems low anyways?
