Silencing beananimal overflow

[Myka]

Where is the noise?

When you say you must crank the flow down to reduce noise then that sounds to me (har har) like maybe the water level in the overflow is too low and you're hearing the water falling into the overflow??

If the noise is coming from the pipes - gurgling? - then there is likely air caught in the pipes. Horizontal runs will do that because it slows down the water which allows bubbles to collect.

How much horizontal distance is there from where the water exits the tank to where it enters the sump? How far under water are the drain lines submerged?

Let me know what part of town you are in, might be able to swing by and give you a hand.
Thanks,

Sorry no pics art his time.

Couldn't avoid the horizontal lines, have roughly 15 feet. Isn't completely horizontal, had it gently sloped and drains terminate about 4" into filter socks. Also used 2 45's vs 90's where I could.

The noise is definitely coming from the pipes.

Bob I am located in south west off the henday. If you could that'd be so great.

Where in the system is the gate valve? Close to the tank or close to the sump?
