*@#^! Overflow- sucking after Stockman mod
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Im getting frustrated now. I have a Lifreef Hangon Overflow Box. I thought I was getting this super duper overflow (payed like $90 bucks).
It just sounds horrible. Air sucking noise that would wake the dead!
I built a Ken Stockman mod for the intake tube. Like the Durso mod only for smaller overflows. It quieted it SLIGHTLY. I started out with a small needle valve in the top. Opened it all the way. Still loud. Made progressively bigger holes till now Im up to 1/4".
The directions that came with the overflow suggest using a 1" gate valve to cut the flow down, to silence it. Its all I can think of to quiet this thing down. The water does seem to be flying down that tube. What do you guys think?
I fixed the problem I had down in the sump. Put kinda a reverse stockman mod on the end of the pipe in the sump. Now the bubbles go up into the small baffled area I built and dont get SHOT down under the baffles.
Someone PLEASE help me with this overflow. Im really gonna like my new setup if I can quiet this thing down!
