Markets, pet stores. Faucet for the compressor. Also. It needs to be adjusted.

And what, is there really no sound of water and no bubbling in the sump?

If the water is moving, it makes noise. I can hear the splashing of the water from the current pump more when it is running at full power. There are no bubbles.

Similarly. Everything is quiet. At first, there was the same problem. The main thing is that the Durso should not work like a siphon! I only adjust the drain. I need to gradually tighten it until the air intake from the top stops. A fine adjustment valve helps. The return is fully open (pump 2880 l/h). The holes at the top of the pipe have no valves at all, although there used to be some.

Try to do it like in the photo, so that the drain pipe is submerged in water.

If there is a tap in the Durso cap and it is slightly open, then bubbles will be in the sump and the drain will be audible. If the tap is closed, there are no bubbles or noise, but it will create a siphon. I am not aware of other ways to prevent the Durso from making sounds. A slightly improved situation is achieved with a tube that is shorter than the spout, which is placed on the tap from inside the cap. Additionally, a heat shrink is placed at the air inlet on the other side of the tap, with a diameter at the end smaller than the inlet diameter on the tap. You can hear a slight air intake, but it is quieter than the return and the foam.

I tried different options. So far, this hasn't led to anything. Maybe it's due to the fresh water, and the situation will change after salting? I'll post a photo of the overflow system - maybe I have some serious design flaws.

Maybe after the faucet on the drain pipe, make a reduction from 1" to 3/4" and install another faucet?

The Dursot itself can be lowered, the sump can be turned, a direct drain can be made (possibly with constrictions), and the pipes can be somehow "straightened," as these "broken" ones look not very good. Also, it's better to find another hose - more flexible, not so stiff and unreinforced.

Martha

The hose here, as I understood from the photo, is for return, so it doesn't matter. The "goose neck" (also known as the spout) of the Durso really needs to be lowered a bit (about 1.5 cm). It's correct that the advice is to turn the sump so that the drain is straight. One hole won't be enough for air intake at the top. Make another one to ease the adjustment. And try to slowly tighten the drain valve. Keep in mind that the Durso is an inertial device. After tightening the valve, give the process some time. You will succeed. At first, I struggled too, but now everything is fine. P.S. Try it this way for now. Without turning the sump.

I forgot to mention. The water here doesn't matter (freshwater). It will be the same with saltwater. I set up my system completely on freshwater to have the option to fix everything if necessary. And as it turned out, it was not in vain.

Martha

SAMP is already deployed, the pipes have been rewrapped. It really is much better and more convenient this way. As for the bubbles and noise - I will give it a try. Thank you very much for the advice!
