• advise on the configuration of pipes and the setup of Durso drain

  • Kathleen

I am going to redo the Durso drain, as the first version turned out unsuccessful, and I can't seem to adjust it... So right now, there is a hole at the bottom of the pipe with a diameter of 42mm, which is for a fitting of 1 1/4. I am considering making one of the following options: option 1, option 2. What do you think, which option will be the most successful? And maybe someone can suggest the correct sequence of actions when setting up the Durso. 1) How much do we tighten the drain valve - to what level, how do we determine how much to close it? Should the cap with the air valve be open or closed? Is the air valve itself open/closed at this moment? 2) We adjust with the air valve - is it initially open or closed? That is, do we open it or close it? I understand that for some, the normal level is in the middle of the U-shaped part, while for others it is slightly higher; I will experiment...

Open the air tap fully. Adjust it to the water. Until the air bubbles stop coming through. After that, slightly open it.

Okay, thank you, I will try. Could you please tell me which option for re-gluing would be better, and what distance to keep between the narrowing sections?

It was the same story (the pipes were the same). It is treated by removing the air valve and leaving a 4mm hole in the lid. Additional adjustments with the drain valve.

Just take out the air valve and see what happens. Switching to a smaller diameter is fine, although mine works without a transition, and I don't use the flow control valve... I twisted it and twisted it, but didn't see any point...

Here is a 4mm hole in the cap, just right...

I drilled a hole, pressed the drain with a tap, okay, silence. After a while, the level rises and then starts to slosh... I have the feeling that it's creating a "gravity flow" instead of a Durso.

I set it up the day before yesterday, seems fine, quiet. Yesterday I came home, it was gurgling, I adjusted it. After a couple of hours, the level rose, I adjusted it again. This morning I got up, and it was gurgling again. Today I will remove the UPS (APC Smart700Inet) from the boiler and put it on the aquifer... I don't know what else to come up with for now. I will redo the drain later, until I decide what distances to make between the transitions, I think it should be decreasing, for example, first through 40 cm (it's very hard to play around here, this pipe is in the shaft), then through 10 cm, then through 5 cm, then an angle and straight to the tap...

Do not pinch the hole with the tap. It should not slosh. It may draw in air, more or less, this is regulated by the tap. If it sloshes, you have a siphon effect.

I removed the valve, made a hole in the end of the plug with a diameter of 7mm, and through this hole drilled various diameter holes in the pipe that goes into the plug, turned the plug - 4mm, turned it - 3mm. Sorry for being persistent, I wanted to clarify that I have a gurgling sound as if water is falling from a height, and I can't figure out what to do to eliminate it.

Turn off the water tap.

Could you please tell me if there is any point in increasing the diameter of the upper part of the Durso, say from 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" (then the upper part would be 1 1/2", above the transition to the tank a fitting of 1 1/4", in the transition a fitting of 1", a section of 1" pipe, a transition to 3/4", a section of 3/4" pipe, a transition to 1/2", a 90-degree elbow, a valve), it seems that the funnel of the Durso would be larger in this case? Or would this just increase the noise?

Maybe this will help you - here is the story of my troubles. I have a return enabled through a more serious ups, but the level fluctuates by about 2 cm a day, but it never sloshes and never reaches emergency drainage. And as I understand, you don't have an emergency system?

Please tell me where to buy such pipes and fittings for passing through glass? PLEEEASE...

The simplest thing is to look for companies that sell (everything for pools).
