Hey everyone, so I just set up my new 100 ext and I’m having some issues. This is my first sump tank and I’m very confused on water levels. My wife is about to go nuts with the dripping sound where the water enters the sump from the overflow. I have no idea if I should have the return pump set on the highest setting or where exactly the level should be in the overflow box itself. Pretty confused and ready to put this thing to the street. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not there to see what you are seeing, but generally speaking, the longer distance the water falls down over the weir the louder it will sound, obviously. So can you make an adjustment so the water level is raised?

And not to be funny, but has you wife given it enough time to be used to the sound of a tank in the room? The day you buy a new house next to a drive-thru restaurant you hear every, "Would you like that supersized?" After a few months you don't even realize it's next door. Lol.
