I have a dual membrane system with the auto shutoff parts. It works well with the following exception.
One of the membrane housings has a pressure guage. In normal operation it shows about 70 psi. My holding container is a big Rubbermaid garbage can. The float valve for the shutoff is hanging from the bottom of the lid.
When it gets almost full I notice the pressure guage drops to 30 psi. Apparantly it is still seeping a little bit but the waste water is still pouring down the drain. If I pick the lid up and hold up on the float it stops completely, the guage drops to 0 and the waste water shuts off as it should.
The float valve is not in contact with the side of the container. I replaced the float valve, the shutoff part, and the check valve with the same results. I even fastened a large piece of Styrofoam to the float valve to hopefully make it close properly. That didn't help. I changed the position of the float valve; level, up, down. Didn't make a difference.
It is still seeping because if I unplug the ATOs at the tanks it will eventually shut down in a couple of hours. With the ATOs in normal operation it keeps "sipping" water so it will never shut down.
Anybody else have this issue?
