Please help, it won’t shut up

A couple pointers:

1. I've never seen a durso made with two elbows. You want a tee, street elbow, and end cap. Also, ideally, with 1 inch bulkhead, use 1 1/4 pipe.

2. You want the smallest hole in the end cap, but not too small. My suggestion here is to first, don't glue the end cap, and start with a very small hole. If too small, drill slightly larger. If you go too large, simply pull off the end cap and start over.

3. You want to make the height adjustable. Moving it up or down "tones" the durso. You can do this by searching how to DIY an adjustable durso, or not gluing one of the lengths and using coupling, try different lengths of pipe.

Let me Google and see what I find:

HERE's a start.

The one inch drains on my current tank will handle at least 800gph just with the siphon, nothing going down the secondary at all so I think you should be fine. I would just plan on using the saggier side as the secondary so that the extra air in it doesn’t become a huge issue, but if you could, moving it or shortening it to cut out that extra bend would be best.

It’s good to hear that I’m not crazy sometimes!

Just as a proof of concept I just adjusted the water flow and use my fingers as a gate valve, LOL automatically solve the issue and everything went Almost silent immediately Thank you so much I’ll definitely be implementing this today.

Glad to have helped! I know the noise from mine drove me crazy until I got it dialed in properly.

Just got it all installed and tested it, so much quieter. Thanks a ton
