Hello people...

Am filling my new system tonight to check for leaks etc etc...Was wondering, how do determine the maximum and minimum water height of the sump?

Thanks in advance for responses...

Don't have mine yet, but:

The minimum height would be just above the intake to the return pump.

To find the maximum shut oiff the return pump. Wait until the siphon finish draining into the sump, then fill to a couple of inches from top. THat is maximum fill with the power off. Mark it.

Turn on pump and wait for tank to return to normal water level and then mark the sump. This is normal power on level, never fill above this while the power is on.
 
Little late but snickle is dead on!!!
