Overflow Return

[spade]

recently someone was asking abt feeding in a overflow tank, where the food pellet would juz get overflow into the chamber

here is my simple solution

Under normal situation the left valve is close and the far right one is opened for return water. During feeding time, the far right one is close while the left one is open. In this case, no water is overflow into the chamber, while the water is still circulating w/o shutting down the pump. The pump sometime juz refuse to start back again

of cos u must remember to turn the return valve back on, otherwise u r disconnecting the sump and main

what do u think??
