    Why move the FE tank feed to other side of pump/valve?

    I've not made any mods/adjustments in the 2 years we've been in the house. I'll reduce the water level and measure the gap accurately and report back. Thanks for your help so far. BTW, does the moving of the feed position to after the pump/value that I mentioned in the OP mean anything to...
