Loc Line

[Zimmy71]

I am sick of having my check valves fail and water all over the floor. Does anybody know where I can buy loc line parts locally?

Cool thanks guys for the help. I just want to raise my return lines so they sit just below the water line as opposed to sitting 4 inches deep in the tank. I have loc-line on my returns now is there any way I can shorten them up and put spray nozzles on the ends?

yes they make those ......I take a 1/8 in drill bit and the ring that is just below the water I drill a hole in it.....so when water level drops to that length it breaks siphon

Damn dude, where have you been all my life! That's an excellent idea. Every time I do a water change and turn off the pumps, that damn return line would back siphon into my sump an overflow my filter media, which resulted in having some of that crap going back into my display. I Do have a ball valve to close when I do my water changes but it's a PITA because it super hard to turn. I'm
Going to try that idea. Thanks!
