    Can we still get a pic of the overflow? There are solutions that can let you have 100% flow, be quiet, as not surge, depending on the type

    Would like to see this. I had the same problem. Just drilled my hole a bit bigger and dialed back my return. Got rid of gurgle noise and overflow noise but would like to have return run 100%...

    I had the exact same issue with mine, my soloution was to drill a hole in the top of the pvc pipe, this allowed more air in which eliminated the flushing action. It worked immediately.

    You can post (upload) a photo here; you need to "go advanced" and then use the paper-clip icon. Lastly, your image must meet the confines of what appears in the "attachment key" in the pop-up.
