Oh boy.........:rolleyes: With all the threads about flooding, i thought i knew better........ well i have an air auto top off, i am waiting for the float switch, so i wanted to do a test (without floats), i just pluged it in the wall and water goes up into the tank.... cool it works, take all apart and let it down on the floor.

Well 2 hours ago my downstair neighbor knocked on my door......... " hey i got water coming down the wall...." yeah right !! ?? :eek: the siphon was not broken.....so gravity did is job, result 4 gallon off ro/di water down the wall.

So to all of you, watch out........... :D

At least the water return was not in the tank, if it had, i would have got 1.0000 salinity !!!!! Lucky me.

Just had to share.

Doesn't sound like fun, but it happens to us all. Glad you found a good side to it!

Aw man, I hate to hear stories like that! Gravity can be a real pain in the butt sometimes :(

Guess we need gravity. Just read about some of the things that went up in the space shuttle. They found out fish swim in loop de loops in zero gravity.
