8-1 Connect the T40SP Side-Pond Venting
The air vent on the T40SP Side-Pod helps create a smooth transition for water flowing in and out of the tanks.
8-2 Connect the 165XP Expansion Tank Venting
For Standard Flow installations the lid for the T165XP includes air venting. For High-Flow installations additional venting can be added by connecting a vent pipe to the
"Overflow" port.
8-3a Filter Tank Overflow
The overflow allows excess rainwater to go out of the overflow rather then puddling up at the base of the water feature.
How the Overflow Works:
When the system is turned off, water in the stream refills the Filter Tank and Expansion Tanks to the bottom of the "Overflow" port. Rain water will replenish any evaporation loss until the water level in the Filter Tank rises to the bottom of the overflow. Excess rain water will now flow out the overflow to prevent a standing pool of water from developing over the top of the gravel when the system is not in use.
8-3b Drain Options:
Note: If neither of the above options are possible, excess rain water can be drained into a gravel swam p at a location away from the Filter Tank.
