I just put in a 1/4" barbed coupling and piece of 1/4" line, same as for the driplines. madasulike that will stop the siphoning problem. poke that coupling in the hose above the full water line in your res.

Where do you run the 1/4" siphon line? One end is connected to the 1/2" tubing above the reservoir maximum fill line via a barbed coupling and the other end is submerged in the reservoir? Or just aiming back into the reservoir? I am sincerely sorry but I'm still not quite understanding.

quite alright, I'm not much at good at explaining either so.... yes connected to the 1/2" tubing and just aimed down towards the water, not submerged.

 

[Madasulike]

yes that's correct, wherever you put that coupling it will suck air in and break the siphon once the pump powers off. just make sure it is above the max fill line at all times and you're good to go

Your a star I got it running no headache now

Thanks to the advice and instruction from this thread, I have my irrigation setup and running. I managed to do so with minimal expense, minimal time & effort, and no trial and error because of the quality info provided here. It's not quite dialed in yet, but I can see where it is going to work just like I need once it is dialed in properly.

I love this community, thanks again!
