Pump won’t stop running when shut off

  1. hey guys, I’m fairly new to hydroponics and have no idea what’s going wrong. I have a 50 gallon reservoir and a 160 GPH active aqua submersible pump. Everything was working well at first, but now even after it’s been unplugged it will still shoot out an extra gallon or two, it damn near flooded my grow tent! If anyone has experience or understand what’s going on here I’d really appreciate an answer, because I’m all out of ideas.
     
  2. Are you running drain to waste? If so, drill a small hole on the feed line above the pump and just above the water line of res. This will break suction and allow the fluid to drain quicker. You may just be experiencing gravity sucking what’s left in the lines out too
