Last night I was thinking about installing a drip system in my tank.
Instead of dripping water into the tank and flushing the overflow down the drain (outside or wherever) I thought about using a dosing pump to constantly pump small amounts of water out of the tank then use a float valve to add water up to the set level when the water gets low from pumping it out of the tank.
I have a sump so I would put the dosing exhaust pump on the sump and also put the float refill valve in the sump to keep the sump at a constant level.
My thoughts were I wouldn't have to worry about the outflow being blocked and I would not be constrained by gravity on the outflow.
Your thoughts?
Dosing pump and float valve would be about $25 together.
