overflow box - c syphon

[whitsunday]

I put plastic airpipe up to top of syphon put u tube into overflow which had water on both sides............sucked out air.........syphon full of water..........next problem..........hooked up mag 12 to sump (full of water) and turned on system..........

water rose in tank to near overflowing so i shut down pump...........syphon does not seem to work that fast...........am I missing something?

If the pump is too much you can put a valve on the output side of the pump (never the input) to throttle it back to balance the overflow.

syphon had broke causing problems.............sucked out air again ........syphon working like crazy..............lots of gurgling and sucking...easily keeps up to pump.................now needs a valve on main output of syphon to quiet it down..............yahoo!!!!!!!.........progress
