I have one of those in the first sock position. I had never thought about opening the diverter and thought it was only used to send all the water through the roller.7" Flow-Diverting Cap - Klir
Klir 7" Flow-Diverting Cap The Klir Flow Diverting cap works to cap any unused holes of your sock tray and direct the water into the Klir filter. It's adjustable and allows you to easily dial the the flow rate to divert excess flow or filter less aggressively. The Flow Diverting cap will...www.bulkreefsupply.com
Return pump is a Sicce SDC 9 running at 30% all day/night.If you already have it set like this then I would ask what your return pump settings are. Do you have it set to change speeds throughout the day?
Yes it will adjust the equilibrium and also yes the filter will still clog and advance. You have to play with the return flow, the valve flow and the bypass flow to get it dialed in.I have one of those in the first sock position. I had never thought about opening the diverter and thought it was only used to send all the water through the roller.
Maybe that's the way to adjust the water equilibrium?
But in the end the Klir7 still needs the water level to rise to the sensor to trigger.
I have just set the ATO optical sensor at 7.5 inches of depth in the return chamber. Really had no thought to it. Skimmer section is set at 9 inches.After re-reading your original post, I think your issue is simply that your ATO sensor is too high. Like I said above, keep lowering it until the kill switch level is at the lowest height the sump water is, which should be when your first chamber is at its highest or right before the roller is triggered. Is this how you have it set currently?
Thank you.Yes it will adjust the equilibrium and also yes the filter will still clog and advance. You have to play with the return flow, the valve flow and the bypass flow to get it dialed in.
Oh I forgot patience and maybe a couple beers.Thank you.
Thank you. How does that work differently that the one I have? Is the sensor mounted differently?Because I am using the Apex sensor, I am not using the latest release version of controller and external sensor come with the kit. If you want to give it a try. I can sent them to you at no cost. You just pay for the cost of shipping
Thank you. PM sent.Here is the spec and the manual of the v2 controller. The sensor came with the magnet suppose to have a huge improvement over the first version and it is external. You can mount to the level you want.
I basically topped off sump, went 4 hours with the ato off. Then turned it on and timed how long it ran.How would a timer work on the ATO? That sounds interesting.
I don't think I can section off the drain area though.
I hadn't thought about running the water that high. I can give this a try as well.I agree though that just lowering your ATO sensor might fix it. Running your water level higher than your return baffle would help too because it will take a larger volume of water to make the return chamber fluctuate. I employ this strategy also.
