I think it’s the older versa. I don’t see them selling this size anymore.

What kind of drain setup are you running? From sump or overflow?

I’m using the durso set up.

I’m using the durso set up.

Is it coming from the sump, like splashing water. Or a gurgle from the durso standpipe?

It’s coming from the sump inside the drain where the 90 degree elbow meets. It’s a loud splashing.

Your best bet is to get the pipe going into your sump under water.

It’s submerged but still producing bubbles from inside the drain.

Is your durso running full siphon or do you have that little air hole on top the 90?

I have an air hole.

 

[Maximizer]

I have an air hole.

That may be where your noise is coming from

 

[ReefAddict16]

I might try running an airline through the hole with a valve to control the airflow. Hopefully that will help.

 

[ReefAddict16]

I put the old pump back on and all of the gurgling stopped. So I sold the vectra and now sticking with the stock pump.
