OK, I had to jar a few brain cells loose as to where I left off on this a few years ago.
The RDF would be a cartridge drop in style unit with only the trash hose to disconnect, then you can yank it right out. Where I left off was was dealing with the constant level/submerged requirements for utilizing air lifts.
All you are doing with air lifts is moving water from one chamber to another. There is no real positive pressure as you would expect in head from a centrifugal pump. You may not even see the water move, but it's circulating, and can be quite a bit.
One of the brain cells rejoined me today (out on vacation, lucky SOB
) OK, in a constant level system, as with an air lift system, it may be difficult, except with some really good sensors, to measure level differential as to when to clean the filter. That brain cell's buddy chimed in and said, Hey dude, just measure the flow! If it's restricted in an air lift rig, the water flow will slow down, and you can detect that.
As a cartridge unit, not gonna be able to do a direct drive thru the wall tho.
Pretty glad I don't get all OCD and jump before the start gun
Solved me an issue or two here
Thanks!!!
