Finally got our newest tank up and running and we having a strange issue with our overflow that we just can seem to figure out (by we, I mean my husband because I am not the equipment girl at all).
Anyway, the tank is a cube with a built in center overflow. The output from the main pump (nozzle) is in the center about four inches from the bottom. The issue is that we are getting non constant water over flow, causing a rush into the sump and a loud swoosh sound from there and in the overflow. Basically the level in the back is doing a rise and fall and is therefore causing an uneven flow. It never falls below the standpipe drain, but seems like it gets plugged so rises about, pressure causes it to go through and then it drops in a huge "wave."
If anyone has any idea what might be the issue, it would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if my lingo is incorrect, but I'm not really in to the plumbing setup stuff. This is the first time we have ever seen this happen and other than the output being at the bottom and not at the top, this is no different that any other setup we have ever done. We have tried a few things to try to figure out the issue, such as moving the flex tubing to try to get air out and stuff like that, but nothing seems to get it to stop.
