Not sure what is cavitation. So here’s an update I try to install the ball valve and didn’t realize the output was still in the back of the tank underwater so I lost about 2 gallons all over my face and under the tank until I figured out what the hell was going on so I basically pulled out go to...

Ill have to pull the mj1200 pump out first to break the siphon when doing maintenance but I’ll install the ball valve on the input side. This reminds me of a canister filter mechanics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Other have used it underneath their tank which I wanted to do versus hanging it. I do have a side table near the tank I can sit it on. Still the same issue just not as low. I just didn’t want to hang it on the side. I’ll put in the ball valve today. Should that be hooked directly to the nozzle...
