Hello Guys,
So last night I noticed some water above my air pump tubing check valve, which means the check valve was working. This got me thinking about what would happen if the check valve stopped working one day. I started wondering if a high loop tubing setup could help stop the siphoning water in case the check valve fails.
As shown in the picture attached, the high loop (reverse U shape) is positioned above the water line. Do you think such a setup would be safe and prevent water siphoning if the check valve stops working?
PS: I can't place the air pump anywhere above my aquarium.
Thank you very much
