I Hate My Overflow (How To Fix It?)

[NuraNori]

We have a HOB overflow with 2 removable U-tubes moving the water. Once one of them kept building up bubbles b/c we put it in backwards (one side is slightly longer than the other)...other times we just kinda move them from one side to the other until we find the "sweet" spot. There is only like an inch of play but it makes a difference whether the tubes are pushed to the left or right side...

Not sure if this is of any help but I tried...

well i just took a good hard look at mine and it was off level, the top of the tank wasn't level but water is self leveling, so i put a nickel under one side and im getting very little bubbles now

Aqualift is the only way to go for now. However, its not fail safe. I've experienced 2 pump failures!!

Not to make an asinine comment but your #1 fix is to go with a drilled tank .

A drilled tank is best but if your tank is not drilled and you want a sump with out removing a bunch of water the HOB CPR is best as for the aqua lifter all you have to do is check that it is pumping water at least once a week. The 110 I am getting is bottom drilled..
