I have a constant flow of tap water that would overflow that use to get rid of the small amount of suds but too many suds to keep up with. I might have to add a foam fractionator.
That is why this new Clarity unit is so "special". It is both a TT and a FF. Two for the price of one so to speak. Its common for TTs to produce "suds", this unit collects the "suds" and deposits it outside of the pond instead of inside it. :0
