I found the ball valve to be much easier to attach, as it had the unions. I found another way to fix the leak, and hopefully will be able to continue with the build tomorrow.If I may suggest. Where you are using the 1/4 turn valve to adjust the flow you will be better off with a gate valve. Much easier to fine tune. Also unions are your friend makes easier if you need to disassemble in future for any reason. Good luck with the leak. Always a bummer when your almost there and then the dang water leaks out somewhere.
Yes I can’t fit a whole herbie system, but I add a small piece of pvc with holes and a cap with a single hole and air tube in it, which allows for air to go in. But most of the noise is from the water splashing down I am buying a small connection to have the pipe submerged in the water. Would that help.Attachment doesn’t work but research the herbie drain. That’s what your overflow uses. I have the same style but mine is a Fiji and super quiet. Like I said before will need to be adjusted with the valve. You want it to be right at the emergency overflow and have it drain down the lower drain. Also I would put a strainer on the lower pipe.
I have a marine depot. Copy of the one you have basically.The water splashing down from the tank into the overflow. If so just adjust the valve so it slows down the drain allowing it to fill up. Which overflow do you have again?
Is yours the medium sized box maybe it looks a bit bigger. Mine is the small. The pipe that would go inside is 1” and it doesn’t have enough space to have a complete bean style. Is your assembled? Can you send a picture of your bean style overflow.If it’s similar to mine then you can absolutely do a bean style overflow that will work for you. Research it that will stop the gurgle use you 1/4 turn to adjust the flow
Ok, I got confused I thought herbie was with the whole 90° angle system.Above post should read herbie style not bean style
Where did yo find that black piece of pvc. Did you make it? Did it come with the box?
