Want to change my overflow (Herbie Question)

Think I see what you want and so long as it is set up to break the siphon should a power failure occur it looks fine if your tank is plumbed for it. Just make sure you calculate your water drainage should you lose power to the pump....

Yeah thats another thing I had not thought of. Thanks.

I still don't think I will do it but man I want to!

Spoot...Im still not too sure how that would work in this case? Will it really keep the water level constant?

It should keep the water level constant at the top of the coupling, theorectically. I have not tried this though.

Ok but Im not sure I understand how you intend to use the coupling? Can you draw something real quick?

Im still interested in figuring out a way to do this if possible.

Hey, I attached it to one of my messages. It's like 4 messages back.

Sorry didn't see that

Yeah that seems like it would work...just a mini little overflow. I have seen someone do that kind of thing and made it with teeth too.

Yup, exactly. Hope this works for you.
