Bell Siphon cutting OFF too early
Well, I have to systems up and running. The first grow bed w/bell siphon is working perfectly, on at 10", off at 1/2". The second one is a bit a of an issue. It comes on perfectly at 10", however it trips off at about 2".
Any thoughts?

How high up do the cuts go on the bell housing on the siphon you are having issues with? That was my problem until I cut down my bell from 2" to 3/4". Instant fix. I am using old soda bottles for my bells so those are really easy to make adjustments on

it's not really a problem.. the water "left behind" mixes with every fill.. my gb's drain about 4" from the bottom - they are a bit deeper than standard though (18-22")

Thank you Suzanne and Keith. I appreciate the responses. I guess I am too much of a perfectionist. I suspect there may be a small leak in the top of the housing that is allowing it to trip back, but if it is not an issue, then I will move on.
