The filll line I will use contains a lot of water due to its length. Also, it is above the batteries by over two feet. Could this cause a problem?

It shouldn't present a problem. Just more water in the line to freeze. You should install in right next to the batteries. No problems there. You must have access to your batteries now , so just install the bulb socket end right at the end of the battery bank. You need the bulb filler assy. to use the system as intended.

May I suggest you go On Line to the manufacture for an answer to you questions... Personally I don't see a problem.. Your working with WATER .... Now... I must say...This product has saved me time and made it easy to keep my batteries filled more often... It used to be a CHORE I failed to perform as necessary because of the effort and contact with the batteries... Not anymore.... Use & Enjoy !

The yellow part you see on top of the battery has floats in them so when the battery is full the entry of water stops. As the water in the battery is used up the floats drop down allowing more water to enter. So the3 water in the fill line will just flow into the battery as the battery calls for it. The squeeze bulb part disconnects. So to answer your question, no it should not cause a problem.

I don't think the length of the tubing would be a problem. (As long as there's enough tubing in the kit ;-))

Mine does the same thing if I fill it even close to the max line. I just fill it up to under the max line and it works better, still leaks some but not as much as before.

I fill my unit I/2 inch from the top. If the water still flows poorly, check the pump, it may have a blockage. Rinse the pump real well. Hopefully this will help.

humm....in my installation NOT much because discharge is above floating line, but only drain back to the pump, the remaining water in the hose (about half quarter o so)....but if where the below floating line you may consider to install a check valve.....hope answer your question.

If you fill it so there is no air in it, then it can't be a problem. Liquid water doesn't expand enough to be an issue.

I would think this may be cumbersome for that, and you have 6 or 8 inches before you submerge the collection chamber. It has to be under water to work well, deeper the better

I have never had an issue with that. I don't really use the ends often, but I fill the center section and I have never had a problem with water causing it to get moldy.

The water is fed into the chamber by power being applied to a solenoid valve. The water flows over the media where the warm air passes through it adding humidity to the return air. Any water that does not evaporate into the air stream flows to the bottom of the chamber and is drained out of the unit via 1/2" hose. The only way that there could be an overflow situation is if the 1/2" line got blocked. Proper installation and regular basic maintenance should avoid that.

You can buy a four ft extent ion at your pool store. That solved the problem for me.

Yes, I think so. Mine's been perfect. Check to see if you filled it over the max line - it will spurt and sputter in that case.

Try filling it less. My epica does not overflow, but I nevervfill it to the line

Not recommended unless the two batteries are not perfectly matched in charge and capacity. The weaker battery could cause the stronger battery to overcharge. If in storage, recommend checking the water levels frequently.

I have no problems with the line just make sure u have it running wide open when u bump it on the ground hope this helps.

I noticed that mine won't work if its low on water, so make sure it has the recommended amount. It seems after an hour of use it needs refilling.

If it is flopping on its side, then there is too much buoyancy. May need to take one of the floats off of the hose

Make sure not to overfill it, or this phenomenon (as the manual calls it) occurs. There's a mark for the maximum water level on the inside, and it's lower than one would expect.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.
