i wish i could have been this articulate with my wordsicer711 said:ok the box with the teeth and the box in the part with the sponges will equalize and not break the siphon.... you would only get reverse siphon from your pump if you spray-bar/return tube is lower than your over flow box in the tank that is assuming you did not put a check value on the pump...
quick synopsis of how your sump work...... lets say you have 10gls of water below your pumps about half of that into the tank till your water level rises to fill your overflow box then the box in and out of your tank will equalize the extra between the to (where the j-tubes were) will spill over into the sponge area and then down the drain returning back into the sump now when the pump stop pumping the the tank will lover to the internal overflow box lowest point then stop (there will be water in the internal overflow box and the center section where the j-tubes are both ends of the j-tube will be submerged thus not losing the siphon) and once power/pump is restarted the to boxes will restart and thus drain back into the sump (all this is accomplished but the the two boxes equalizing in and out of the tank) any problems you are going to have are a reverse siphon from the pump with out a check value or it be placed to low into the tank (blow the overflows lowest point)
That, my friend, is a testament unto itself. Most people with sumps flood themselves sometime in the first week, if not the first day. :Spyral said:The sump is running fine, the HUGE sponge filters are in there and doing their job. I have to mess with my water level a bit to get it just perfect, but in the month I have had the sump up, there have been no issues. Thanks for the write up TJ, very informative.
Same here..interested to see what he means.shua said:i dont see any way to have air bubbles go into my U pipe with the overflow box. I have never had any such problem. :scratch: i would like to see what you are talkin about
