Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Ok, I dont get this siphon stuff

Dan,

Let me further qualify this siphon issue on my design.

The design in my system is referred to as a "Vaccum Breaker", therefore implying that it is designed to eliminate a siphon vs. create one. This is an interesting idea to ponder...AKA, the design on my system is to drain until the water level reaches the fill line, then ensure the vaccum is broken. It is not designed to automatically create a vaccum? Perhaps so. In the standard "upside down u", the design is to automatically create and disengage a siphon. Two different designs.
