Thermosiphon question | 4 comments (4 topical)

Thanks Zap, looking online at a few tank diagrams, it looks like most cold water dip tubes extend down to just a few inches above the drain spigot. So if your theory is correct, and my loose research is correct, then changing the connection from the top to the bottom should not make too much of a difference. Anyone else have any thoughts?

And what about what 97Fish said about the 90 degree and drop. Depending on tank placement, the 90 might not be avoidable at the bottom but the drop would be eliminated.

Does anyone think we are just splitting hairs here, or would it really be that much more efficient?

Thanks so much!!!!!
