rinse chemical jub overflowing

[Darren Styles]

My 5 gallon rinse jub was half filled yesterday and this morning it is overflowing. What would cause water to move back down the syphon tube and into the jug when the machine is turned off? Would it be the check valve (i was told) and if so where is it? The end of the tube that goes into the jug looks to be just a filter and not a valve. I have an Accelerated machine 2545. Thanks for your help!

Where is it?

it's right on the end of the solution line that goes into the mix jug............it gets crap sucked into it and stops up, which lets the solution tank backflow back into the solution jug.........

Thanks I found it and it looks all clean. I put some teflon tape around the threads and put it back together and it seems to have worked.

I know you said you found the problem already.

In other cases, it could also be caused by a chemical reaction.. Something perhaps got mixed up in the jug and started expanding.

It happens sometimes.. ask me how I know that.
