I am overdriving my EV-180 with an Eheim 1262. With this much water entering the skimmer air control is of the utmost importance.
The built in air valve is not precise enough. One hair too much open, The water blows the top off and it floods. One har too little open and no water rises the column.
So I have decided to close off the air valve and attempt to install an air valve in the other intake I have (John Guest fitting that isn't being used).
So I need a precision air valve that would allow me to be more precide in my air adjustments and would give me more latitude in adjusting my skimmer. The (all or nothing)ness of the current situation just blows.
So does anyone know of a precision air valve that I can hook either onto the end of the RO tubing, or directly into the JOhn Guest fitting? And if the valve could have some kind of markings, (or better yet a meter), that would make dialing it in even better.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Josh
