Top off storage tank question

[nickrosenthal]

I am looking into getting a storage tank for rodi water that will be used for top off to my tank. I am concerned about the possibility of creating a syphon so I am looking into getting one of these tanks since they are not too tall (25") and holds 30 gallons of water.

Do any of you see this being an issue? I will be using it with a litermeter 3

Using a litermiter is enough to keep it from siphoning.

Where do you get these tanks.

I agree. LM won't alow a syhon in either direction.

BTW - a check valve won't help.

all you have to do is drill a hole in you tubing above your topoff waterline and it wont siphon out. Thats the way I do it and no problems at all.

Check to see if you have a local Tractor Supply store. I saw them there yesterday.
