Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Thank you for taking the time to look. Thank you even more if you have a solution.
I have the EBB-12 Bucket system. http://www.horticulturesource.com/c...lete-w-55-gallon-reservoir-new-version-p4490/
I have one pump for FILL and one for DRAIN. The FILL pump is located in the reservior and it pumps nute water over to the smaller controller. When the controller bucket is full, a float valve shuts off the FILL pump. The problem is: when the FILL pump shuts off, it still continues to flow due to a syphon effect. This causes the controller bucket to overfill and flood my tent. It also causes the buckets to completely fill and drown my plants! All bad. A little while later, the DRAIN pump kicks on and drains the control bucket, but the damage is done.
How do I stop the syphon effect? I want the controller to stop filling when the pump kicks off.
PLEASE HELP! +rep for good solution.
