1.
How to set up the siphon break properly?
First, the siphon break must be inside of the reservoir and a little higher than
the water level so the drops can go back to the reservoir. The siphon break
should be placed in the area between the two red lines as shown below.
Second, the siphon break must be set upwards as the arrow icon suggested.
2.
Are drops of water from the siphon break a normal phenomenon
when the pump’s on?
Yes. Siphon breaks can prevent the siphon from happening. They have a small
hole which allows air in to cut the water flow when the pump turns off. Also,
water drops out of the hole of the siphon break which is properly installed are
normal when the pump’s on.
3.
What will happen if the siphon break is not set up properly?
First, when the siphon break is set outside of the reservoir, e.g. between the
tank/sump and the reservoir or inside of the tank/sump, the water drops from
the hole of siphon break cannot flow back to the reservoir and the siphon break
cannot break water flow.
Second, when the siphon break is set in the wrong direction (the arrow on the
siphon indicates the water flow direction), it also cannot work to break water flow.
Consequently, the tank/sump will be overfilled and more water will come out
