I disagree, the 6-2 mod is "nothing" without the gate mod. Not to say its a POS but I would definitely say its less efficient without it. You didn't see it "out of the box". The pipe they provide with it, originally, disallows for any kind of fluctuation in sump level (not daily levels but when you accidentally over topup after a water change, my sump has a different level every time I do a waterchange, mostly because I'm lazy).

Brad, what size of pipe do you have for your 8-3? Does it have one or two outflows? If its got 1.5" pipe on it I can bring down my gate valve mod and you can try it out if you like
