I need help priming a durso drain that I just constructed. I've tried to find videos on it but it seems like no one has done one so far. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Can you post some pics of your durso drain

I know that I'll have to drill a small hole on the cap, but this is what it currently looks like

What I see that will need adjusting is the pipe that's submerged in the water. To me it looks like it's way to deep.


Also adding some rigid tubbing after you drill the hole will help with noise as it will release any trapped air.

Here is a pic of my durso for a visual.
