If you're planning to feed Hydrominders from chemical containers upstairs, I don't think you'll have much luck. You could add a siphon breaker at the highest point, but the line going down will still drain out every time the tank fill stops.

Basically gravity is in control here. And remember, gravity isn't just a good idea, it's the law.

How about a inline check valve right at the chem line into the hydrominder?

As long as you are moving the soap upstairs, which means you have easy access, why not take the mixing tank up there also? Then your lines will run to solenoids and no more siphon.
