| Air tube, where have you been all my aquaponic life... |
After getting some proverbial air, I think I've come up with a few
ways to help succeed where I've previously failed with this bell
siphon problem. One blog in particular I came across references
what's called an 'air tube,' that, when connected to the top of the
bell and run along the outside helps break the seal that I keep
running into as the problem. So tomorrow I'll break out the power
tools again and add an air tube to the system first thing. Failing
that, I think that if I either increase the height of the media bed
thereby somewhat restricting water flow into it the difference will
be enough so that an equilibrium won't form between the inflow and
outflow. Failing that, I will adjust the inner standing pipe's
diameter in the chance that it will either help break or create the
seal with regularity. Aye, dos.
