You mean the one in the link I posted? Notice thought that it's actually two seperate tanks that are not inter-connected, unlike the tank in the video.
i'm still trying to figure out the one in the video. how does the water in the tower not dump out into the bottom portion? i mean i know it's possible with a vaccuum in the tower but they've got air going up through it. so that's not the case there. anyone have any ideas on how it's done?

The amount of air is minute and isn't strong enough to break the vacuum between the two liquid portions.

think what he meant that if you kept pumping air into the tank, the air would displace the water so the water would end up overflowing into the bottom tank? maybe lol?
But it's a closed system... so there is a fixed amount of air at the top, and that is the air that gets pumped through, so always the same amount. He said in the the text that it needs replacing every so often.
try it out with a glass in the sink, lol. You could have as much or as little water as you wanted in the top bit.
Would be cool to have one of these.
i get it now... so he's just pumping the air already in the top of the tower back to the bottom...that would be a pain to swap out all the time...sweet idea none the less...the air pumping would also help the circulation in the tower i suppose.
