My overflow bow thinks it a toilet

[dannyd711]

I have a similar overflow set up but I have a hole drill on top with a tube going in the middle and I don't have the elbow in the overflow. I think you have air getting caught in the plumbing and it has no where to get out causing it to make the toilet bowl effect

I can always remove the true union. But the pipe above the tank 12" higher?
The drain is 1" the return 3/4. Is that a bad thing?

did you try the tube yet?

 

[roc5288]

Didn't really have the chance today. I did make the hole bigger. But think it might be to large. Water seems to be draining slower to slow. I have to turn down the return far to low.

you made the same mistake i made!

Now I feel much better LOL. Have to go spent another 50 Cents dammit.

If you drilled the hole too big, you can also put a piece of airline tubing in it, and clamp the tubing until you get the desired flow.

good idea
