Herby vs Durso

Only reason I changed was I had a long horizontal run under room used as a office and could hear gurgling in lines when house was quiet (running 1000gph). Herbie did stop the noise heard in the room.

Unless you feel like playing, would say just keep Dursos, as I found really no difference in sound at display or sump (both were/are silent).

A strainer on the main drain would solve that problem

Soooo just out of curiosity, who sells those Durso kits?

Rich did at one time on RC. He has his own webpage or had. Cant say or not if he still does. Easy to build. I have built dozens and never a problem.
