I have just set up a 4 channel Kamoer dosing pump and am using TMC dosing containers (the ones with the round hole in the top with a blue lid).
When I prime the tubes there are no bubbles and the liquid flows through fine. However over the period of a few days I start to see air pockets in the tubing.
The dosing containers are sealed and the tubing is all submerged, but I'm not sure if they are actually air tight as such and creating a vacuum so this morning I have taken the lids of slightly to see if by letting air in this helps. Am i supposed to create a vacuum or should I let air in ?
The end of the tubes in the tank (above water) have non return valves fitted.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated..
