FUNCTIONALITY AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
FUNCTIONALITY OF PIPEWORK AND VALVE:
• The water from the display tank runs via the overflow
box into the main outflow and then into chamber 1 of the
sump (Fig. 3).
• The second outflow in the overflow box is an emergency
outflow and is only used if the main outflow is blocked.
• The adjusting valve on the main outflow controls the wa-
ter flow to the sump and ensures that the outflow noise
is kept to a minimum.
FUNCTIONALITY AND STRUCTURE OF SUMP:
Chamber 1: Sedimentaion chamber
for the outflow water
from the display tank.
Chamber 2: Filter sock
filters dirt particles out of the
water.
Chamber 3:
The
main filter chamber
,
also known as
the skimmer chamber, has a constant water level. It is
possible to install further filters here, such as a media
reactor (Nyos
®
TORQ
®
) for example.
Chamber 4:
Bubble trap
, in which a coarse filter sponge
can be placed if necessary.
Chamber 5: Return Chamber.
In this chamber, the water is
fed back into the display tank via the return pump. As the
water level in the return chamber varies, this is where the
evaporated water needs to be replanished via the auto
top off system.
