Ok now this ones tricky, I’ve put together the Durso overflow but for some reason my left overflow is noisy as heck. I have both drains running to a T into my sump. The other problem I have is the right overflow never gets a strong siphon could this be due to the T disrupting flow? Should I scrap the Durso for the Stockman standpipe?

Would it be better to run a 2nd sump and overflow separating the two?
 
That was before I installed just to show flow. I have tuned it now running nice and quiet.
 
I had the same issue with the crazy loud gurgling and it would even cause my sump to splash all over my floor. I went with a Stockman given the Eclipse overflow I am running. Tank is nice and silent. The total cost was $8.33. Worth every penny.
