hey everyone,
some of you may remember my flooding disaster about one month ago. at that time i replumbed my tank so that the original pump to tank return line was an emergency overflow, and plumbed the new return up the back/outside.
this was working fine, but even with my durso i could hear gurgling though the airline and i was getting lots of mist in my sump from airbubbles in the drain.
I finally put a valve on the drain today and went herbie style. what a treat. completely silent and no more mist/air bubbles in the sump :mrgreen: . i wish i would have done this a long time ago. i read great reviews of the herbie style on other forums, but i had no idea. I would highly recommend anyone designing their drains to use the herbie. WOW
