Re: The beginnings...

Just plugged in my jebao wp25 to test... Didn't work..  That's disappointing..  I've contacted the seller for replacement!

Re: The beginnings...

AAAACCCKKKK... I am re-thinking my whole drain system...
It is too damn loud for the living room.

The durso overflow is silent, but down in my sump...ughhh..
I've played with tuning the ball valves...I am unsatisfied!!

HELP!!


Does the Herbie method fix this??

Re: The beginnings...

Do you have the drain line in the sump below the water line?

 

[Bfofre]

Re: The beginnings...

Yes... At least 3".

Re: The beginnings...

And what seems to be the noise cause?
Large bubbles?
Just water falling?

Re: The beginnings...

Not large bubbles..  But rushing water,  lots of noise..    But bubbles for sure...  Could I post a video?

Re: The beginnings...

That is load, seems to be a lot of flow though.

 

[Bfofre]

Re: The beginnings...

Load?  What does that mean?  And yes.. I get lots of flow when the ball valve is wide open

I think he meant loud...not load.

Re: The beginnings...

There is something not set up right with your durso. You are sucking way too much air.

Re: The beginnings...

I agree..  But not sure what isn't set up right...

I added a few more small holes to cap tonight to see if that would help..  No change.

I may abandon and go Herbie... Really didn't want to,  but can't stand this sound!
