+ 1 agree This seems to be magic depth for me as well, I also get the gross smelling very dark glop, smells just like sewer, wife leave's the room when I empty it. I ran mine in a vinegar bath for 24 hours for break in when I got it new put it into the sump made some adjustments for a couple of days to dial it in and it's been perfect since then. Good luck
