Hi Everyone,
During leak testing of my new 20-gallon long build, I noticed an issue with tuning the overflow. The overflow is an Eshopps Eclipse S plumbed in standard Herbie style with a gate valve from BRS on the main drain. The return is loc line over the back coupled with a DCP 2500.
I am having two issues. The first is that at pump powers much above 40% the overflow level is not constant. I'll tune it so the emergency drain is just barely trickling and it will be fine for a while. Suddenly, the water in the overflow will drop quickly till the main drain starts sucking air. If I let it keep go like this, the water level will usually slowly creep back up. The tank level seems to be staying constant, just the level in the box.
Second issue. I am getting a lot of noise from water falling into the weir box. I've tried to counter this by running the water level higher and the emergency drain a bit wet. However, then the emergency drain gets noisy even with just the slightest trickle. Any help would be appreciated.
