I have a Ecotech Vectra S2 on my reefer 250. I can't seem to turn it up much without running the sump dry. Should the overflow adjustment be high or low to allow more water into the sump to keep up with the pump?

Do they make a different valve you can put on the reefer 250 in place of the stock. It surely is a pain in the butt. Probably the only thing I don’t like about my reefer.... when my filter floss gets clogged the overflow is always a pain to get back to the right level.I would fully open the gate valve then turn pump to were you want it then slowly close till there is no more gurgling sound. The stock valve IMO is a pain in the rear end
You can replace it will a spears gate valve from BRS. BUT you will need to convert the metic plumbing to standard in order for it to work. I am going to do this in my 250. I am sick of the the stock one i need to adjust once or twice a week. I am using the RO various-4 for my returnDo they make a different valve you can put on the reefer 250 in place of the stock.

I’ll look that up tonight. Is it a pain to have to change the plumbing?Check out my build of Reefer 250. I use spear gate valve. Mine is M2. I think S2 is too much for Reefer 250.
Yea I just want to change the valve out to make adjusting easier... takes like 40 dang minutes to let it adjust and readjust.. so annoying.It can be, right now the biggest pain is getting all the components in a timely fashion. If you are just doing the main drain it should be easier.

Did you try it? It is happening to me too. I would set the pump speed to what you want and then set the water height in the overflow box to your liking, and then add more salt water to the sump to the height that you want as it will bring the water height in the return chamber up.Thanks I will try

If you have the V3 model it’s common for the overflow water height to fluctuate.
If your return chamber is running dry you turn the valve counter clockwise to open the main drain. If you’re still having issues add more saltwater.

You have to use custom plumbing if you want to use spear gate valve. Otherwise, your option is to stay with the stock really unfortunately.Do they make a different valve you can put on the reefer 250 in place of the stock. It surely is a pain in the butt.
