If you can explain this in depth cause i'm having a hard time picturing this.
Mike, the pipe itself did not break. The siphon created by a Durso (i think that's how they work) was disrupted by the change in water chemistry (OP is guessing/assuming this). In other words, water was being pumped into the DT faster than it was draining. Higher (or would it be lower, i dunno) viscosity would slow the rate at which the water drains (if that is indeed the case in this situation).
