+1Raise that Durso standpipe to reduce the distance the water has to fall.
Which is why you need to substantially raise the water level in your overflow, so the water doesn’t have to run down the side of the box.The noise is not from the drain pipe but from the water flowing into the weir before flowing going down to the sump
I've noticed something similar. How does doing this impact the flow through the sump. Obviously it slows it down, but what else?Which is why you need to substantially raise the water level in your overflow, so the water doesn’t have to run down the side of the box.
You can make it silent with the proper plumbing and gate valves, I have a reef synergy that is silent, has 3 drains, the main drain has a syphon and it carries the majority of the water the second drain is a backup and is tuned way down, the 3rd is just an open pipe that is the safety and should never carry water.My wife is complaining about the noise my overflow makes anybody have any ideas how I can silence it.Its a coast to coast overflow and the noise comes from the water tumbling down before it flows to the sump
Best advice ever!Honestly the only solution is to just get rid of the whole thing.
The wife I mean, of course.
Best way is to reduce the distance the water falls. How to do this depends on what type of plumbing you are using. If Bean Animal or Herbie, then you simply need to close down the valve on the full siphon line a bit until you get the desired degree of quiet.My wife is complaining about the noise my overflow makes anybody have any ideas how I can silence it.Its a coast to coast overflow and the noise comes from the water tumbling down before it flows to the sump
