Last night I finally cranked on my return pump and thankfully nothing leaked, but I have a new problem.
My overflow is loud. VERY loud. Both the drain and the intake have some issues.
I managed to curb the waterfall sound from the intake slots to an acceptable level by putting some sponge in the spots where it was splashing. Now my issue is the drain.
My drain has a constant wooshing sound, like water rushing through it. It's not the gurgle of a siphon being broken; I can reproduce that noise by blocking the hole on the top of my durso drain. I think my return pump is a little too powerful. Is there anything I can do to fix that, or am I out several hundred dollars cos I got upsold on the pump? Could it be something else?
Thanks a ton in advance for the help.
EDIT: "Load"... that's what I get for posting before I have coffee
