Glad you stuck with it!Well great news! I stuck with it, new design and I got it legit whisper silent. Problem is, I turned it off to practice a power outage, now it has a slight gurgle again, any idea why!
Great picture! You weren't quite dialed in at that point. You want a small amount of water going down that center pipe. Not much, but you do want some. This is to help deal with small flow changes and provide stability. If you don't have some water going down that pipe then a slight reduction in flow can cause your siphon drain to start sucking air causing gurgling.
When it was silent, this is what it looked like
Putting a U on it like you had earlier helps with the trickling noise. Drilling some 1/4" to 1/2" holes right toward the top can help, too. Or, you can be lazy and wait for a biofilm to grow on it which will also help quiet it down. That should happen over the course of a week or two.
Got it, still got a trickling noise from the trickle pipe, any way to quiet that?
Higher rates of flow will put the water level higher given the same drain setup.Huh, that's very confusing. Ive seen pictures and videos where the flow was almost at the top of the teeth on the overflow box. Oh well, thanks for your help anyway
The DC pump may not have started up at the exact same speed. There is some variation in the controllers so you may need to make adjustments every time you loose power.
iwI put the same box in a few months ago and it runs dead silent. You've got 2 strikes against you without a valve on one of the pipes but the fact is that you shouldn't touch the valve after you've set the water levels in the box. I think I can help you sort it out so if you want the help, call me at 250-390-7419 ... Shaun
PS: I can tell you that the piping you've got in the box is wrong.
