New unit that has an issue with one of the lines keeping a prime. Happens to be #2. First head works just fine. Second one doesn't keep a prime.

1. Silicone airline tubing
2. Liquid tanks are vented.
3. About 20" up, straight down to tank

Needless to say this affects the dosing (unit has no way of knowing)..........any tips? Anything I missed (primed it a few times, made certain all the air was out of the line.....)?

Are you using check valves?

Um....nope - are you supposed to? Hadn't thought of that because a) doesn't matter if it goes back to container b) other one works c) rollers keep it pinched off or d) I'm a goob :lol:

Think that would the solve the problem.

If its drains back into the container the dosing will be off too.

Seriously, thanks for the input I appreciate it.
