The manual states to fill overflow with 6" of water, and check for leaks. I did it was fine.
I have now filled the overflow to the top of the primary drain, and that leaves the top of emergency drain 2"-3" above the water.
Now, for some reason I get a few drops of water from the emergency drain. Maybe 15mls, or less in 24hrs. I do not understand how water can get into the pipe unless it has a small crack in the tube inside the overflow.
It is not leaking anywhere outside, or around overflow. The nuts are still glued to bottom, and all threads are dry. It's all coming from inside the emergency pipe. Maybe it does have a small hairline crack. The pic is how much water comes out 12+ hrs.
I only have water in the overflow.
The tank, and sump are empty. If there were water in the sump I would have never known this.
Should I order a new E-drain pipe for inside the overflow?
