Plumbing Questions

[Easto]

I felt like the Herbie was pretty safe when looking at it. I have a hard time to think the drain and the emergency would ever get clogged to the point of an Emergency flood.

I am sure over time without any maintenance it could happen but I would think it could take several months to accumulate and it should get discovered well before it's an issue.

I'd rather do a Herbie for the sake of less plumbing, however if BA is better with more safe guards and all it takes is a few feet of plumbing and another hole/bulkhead I ask "why not?"

I... Dunno if I buy into this. Your fish would have to get past the grill at the overflow, your main's gasket grill would also have to have already been severely clogged follows up by the fish jumping into the e-drain.... Just seems like you might as well get onto the lottery bandwagon with those odds...
