    Depends on where they're coming from. Your return must be getting air.

    You need to add some RO/DI water to bring the level in the back chambers up.

    Yes it will raise the level in the display as well but if the back pumps are working properly it should balance out in a couple minutes. Make sure nothing is blocking the spill way or obstructing the flow into the back chambers.

    You can add water and your chambers will reflect the addition of water by rising. No need to worry about the DT rising.
