tunze ato

[jose hernandez]

for some reason my tunze ato keeps siphonin water into the sump when the water gets low it turns on but i noticed afterwards that its still driping water into the sump making the alarm go off causing me to turn it off is there anyway to stop that siphoning from goin into the sump

Have the ATO line dispense up and into the tank. Have the line drop it into the air with about one-half or three-quarters of an inch between the end of the line and the water level.

Not understanding My resevoir is a little higher the sump but it’s not next to the sump it’s 2 feet away I have the tube on a drip loop and it still drips after filling up to the water level line I tried putting a hole into the tube like someone mentioned but still the same outcome

Put it into the tank, not the sump. Seriously, this is how you fix this... or lower the reservoir below the sump level. Drip loop does nothing in a closed tube.

Resevoir is taller than the sump so can’t do that My tank is a reefer 750xxl so where do I put it overflow or main display

 

[jda]

I don't know what a 750xxl is, but either will work.

Put it on your main display and clamp it in place

To avoid siphoning, the end of the ATO output line needs to be higher than the waterlevel in the ATO reservoir. Also, the end of the ATO output line should never be submerged.

It’s not submerged but the resevoir is definitely higher than the sump

 

[jose hernandez]

So if I put it in the main display there is not much room on top tank is rimless

That’s why you’re siphoning. As @jda said, route the line up to your tank. You can route the line to feed into the Reefer’s overflow tower.
