catchment tank overflowing the top
#17
Took our overflow out of the tank to clean it and didn't support it well enough. As I was lifting it out the bottom loop cracked at the 90 degree Elbow. I checked out the diagram listed by Birdmove above (Thanks for that- BTW). I have the replacement parts, made the repair and I am ready to re-install the overflow. My question is, Can I drop the Outlet height by 2" so the Tank level is a bit lower? Most of the diagrams I have been able to find show the inlet level pipe is roughly even with the lower opening on the T on the outlet side. Not knowing much about siphons and water pressure, will lowering the outlet by 2" affect the 'self-starting' draining of this overflow? Or will I need to drop the Inlet opening the same amount?
Also, is there any way to include pictures in a post or do you have to link to them?>
