DT and Sump Water levels

[LadyTang2]

Is the following true assuming all pumps are on and water is running normally through system: Evaporated water will lower the water line in both the sump and DT?

I would think that evaporated water from DT would only lower the water level in the DT until the drain was above water or something.

Are there any good stickies or articles out there in the area of on water levels in sumps/DTs given baffles different overflows rates ect?

Your pump is constantly returning water to your DT from your sump. This will always maintain the DT level. As water evaporates the sump level will slowly drop as it is constantly pumping water to dt. This is why ato measures level in the sump and refills sump to maintain that level

+1 dt always stays the same only the rerurn section of sump.will vary.
