Today is hopefully easter for this thread; Any pictures?
Just go to photobucket.com and up load the pictures as stated.
I am researching for a good surge system and I am very interested in this design. Unfortunately actuated ball valves are $800 bucks a pop!!! Ouch. I am a total dolt when it comes to all of this electronics stuff.
Could you put together a "shopping list".
Any updates? Antectdotes
Thank you so much for all of your help.

Servo,
You can get a motorized valve for $300-ish, plus about 50-75 for the controls. I belive the Jandy electric pool valves are only $150-ish. You have to set them upo a bit different, control wise, but they work too.
An internal CSD would be a RCSD, using air to displace the water in the submerged container until it begins a "reverse siphon" and the water floods back in. I've built a few and they really move some water, but at the cost of a LOT of noise and salt spray. The spray can be contained and drained back, the noise is a bit harder to control.
I am currently building a tank with a RCSD built in. I'll post it someday when I finish it.
