Overflow Question!!!!!!!

[fkshiu]

Take some pictures so we can get a better idea of what you're dealing with.

Is the noise coming from the water spilling into the overflow box, or from draining, or from splashing upon exiting in the sump?

The noise is where the water spils into the overflows

do some research on Durso Standpipes, not sure about using them in a right angle situation, but that is what I use and my overflows are silent.

Durso Standpipes allow you to regulate the amount of water (water level) in the overflow so the water isn' crashing down at the bottom.

Good luck!

That might work if I take out my bulk heads and see if I can work in a 45 degree elbow, then go up but I dont have the room for a top tee and 90.

I think if you just put a 90 on there and raise the height of the water in the bulk head, u will significantly reduce the noise... if you then need to put a Durso type head on it, it's an easy DIY... I did one for mine with $5 worth of stuff from Home Depot

get an elbow on there (hopefully your bulkhead is slip) and some sort of standpipe (for tight space checkout Hofer or Stockman) to raise the water height.

I got a bit more room so using Dursos but the water doesn't even drop an inch.

Cool thanks Mark I could make either one of these work for sure. I even have most of the fitting's and pipe already.

You might be tight on space for a Durso, try the Stockman. I have one in my 180 and no noise.

the Hofer looks like it would be the easiest to do. Going to try it but have to round up a coouple more fitting's and shut down my flow so I can pull my overflow bulkheads.

Thanks everyone this is going to help greatly.
