    Need a bit of input, wet/dry filter pad clogging quickly

    Thanks much, so about 1" thick? It fit ok in there and flows well? How well does it filter? No backup over the top of the black filter housing?

    Need a bit of input, wet/dry filter pad clogging quickly

    Just the pad. It's almost like it is water logged. The holes and the rest of the filter are as clean as a whistle. Dave

    Can you tell me what you purchased? What do they call it? A filter pad? Dave

    Need a bit of input, wet/dry filter pad clogging quickly

    It's an eshoppes wd-300cs wet dry system. From the output it goes into one of two chambers which have a thin wool type material which then filters down into the bioballs. THe problem is after a few days the wool pads must clog to the point where the water cannot drain through it quicker than...

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    I'll give it a go. I also noted when the entire pipe was out (just bulkhead) it was quieter also. Dave

    So basically just the vertical pipe and holding a piece of airtube in the vertical pipe? Dave

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    Little more update, the problem seems to follow the actual adjustable pipe/intake. However I did dial down the flow a bit as anything over 1/2 on the ball valve just causes nothing but surge so I'm not 100% sure that is true. At about 1/2 (Throttling right after pump) one Is dead quiet and the...

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    You'd think so but it makes no sense that the right one is very loud and surges like crazy sometimes unless I keep the flow throttled way back. Dave

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    I have no way to quantify flow but I just ended up reducing flow out of the pump w/ a ball valve. I noticed zero change on the output at the sump so I am assuming the pump may have been overpowering the overflows. I don't understand why the left one was fine but my best guess is that fact that...

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    I don't know, i'm nearly out of ideas. It only happens on the right side and unfortunately the right side hose is further away from the sump by a few feet so I cannot do that spiral hose routing Like I have on the left side which is quiet. Dave

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    I was thinking the same thing but if you look at the pictures of the right drain tube it is a near diagonal. really thinking of maybe going with pvc

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    this is getting a tad annoying. Every few hours it surges for a bit and sounds like a toilet flushing then goes away. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks Dave

    New 210g w/ center overflow water trickling sound

    Nope was making a ton of noise because the water was usually over the top row of holes and I had to remove the top cap to let air into the system. Rather than holes I may cut out the entire side of it is so it's one bit square opening rather than a bunch of small holes. Dave
