![]() As to all the advice up above, Big Thank You!
1. I have my over flow pipes set up as a Durso stand pipe.... (also have setup ahead of time a no way no chance a snail or grab can get into it all) 2. The noise I'd not at the display it's in the plumbing as is hits a section of 90's because of the restriction on how the plumbing was able to run. (it sounds like a constraint flushing toilet in the basement family room) 3. ATO is monitored, more than 30 seconds it's shut of for 60 mins on top of flood sensors to shut it and the return pump down! Thanx Guys! Sent Via The Pirate Ship... |

![]() That flushing toilet is the noise I warned you about previously when you use a single drain on that large of a drop.
Two drains, one back up and one with a gate valve, zero noise, zero air, everywhere (upstairs and down). Crabs, snails and fish will find ways through your plumbing, unless you have strainers in your dursos that require constant cleaning you're vulnerable. Even a clump of algae can clog a valve. |

(warning was given) Big Thanx, Huge Thanx On Allll The Advice As To How To Fix It- ** Exterior overflow consists of main strainer separation from the tank, second one to catch the critters and 3rd a foam block that I clean every other day, and last the Durso strainers that I have yet in Many years had the strenuously clean, outside the normal cleaning routine I have. (I actually keep all my equipment maintained and do monthly cleans of 90% of it) OCD at its finest! ** But all your warnings are taken as very helpful and I promise if in anyway any of my redundancies are compromised I'll let you all know so you can give me a huge round of "I Told U Soo's" lol ![]() Sent Via The Pirate Ship... |

![]() It may not be the end of the world, but thought you should know ...
If I'm seeing what I think I see, it looks like you have your sump bulkheads backwards The rubber seals should be in the water and the nuts on the outside |

![]() No worry! But definitely thank you as its not my first rodeo (or sump), there are many ways to do stuff and not all of them the same. It's why these sites exist, show other ways and ideas and grab suggestions.....
Can't leak through the treads if there is silicone* "suggestions are welcome, as long as people understand they don't always know the only way. If there was just one way to do things this site would be so useless lol" Sent Via The Pirate Ship... |

![]() I don't get it? I mean sure many ways to do things and I like learning new methods but why would you opt for realying on siliconing treads instead of installing the bulkhead properly with gasket on flange side? Seems strange but to each there own I guess... Just don't think I'd go recommending that approach to others.
