Is There a Automatic Fill and Drain system that is available
I was looking for a System that will change 10% of the water daily. Is
there a automatic one available? I could build one but how do you drain at the same time as filling? I I have a 1/4 inch tubing that opens with a timed valve how do I drain it though. I have no over flow. And what about one for a aquarium? Are the available? Thank you |

I hope you have a small pond, otherwise that's going to waste a lot of water. 10% weekly is a little bit closer to the desired schedule. Not sure how you'd empty it on a scheduled basis. One idea brainstorm idea. Take a T connector, install it to the waterfall. On the bottom part of the T connector, install your timed valve. When it is open the pump will drain out the water as desired, just drain it into the garden. On the fill side, you can use a float valve, kind of like the ones found in toilets. I recall seeing a website where they sold one that was made for ponds, otherwise you could just use a toilet float valve. -S |

Toilet float works fine for refilling the pond. Black tops hide almost
totally. Jim Snooze wrote: "d t" wrote in message ... I was looking for a System that will change 10% of the water daily. Is there a automatic one available?
