Bob,
Are you using the durso pipe? I guess I should break it down, clean it out,
check the bulkhead and all the other stuff along the way to the sump. I do
have an elbow in the output line that may be restricting it. Maybe I should
try and remove that, but if I do, I have to bend the flex tubing to get to
the sump, which then restricts it and puts pressure on the bulkhead and tank
glass. I dont know. It seems like it is much harder to adjust than I
suspected it would be. If I barely open a pump output, the tank fills up
fairly quickly, but then if I shut the output down completely, it takes the
pipe a while to catch up. If you are getting 980 no problem, I shouldn't be
having problems. The guy who designed this says he is pushing 2000 gallons
through his, and he uses 1.25 inch PVC as well. Maybe I am pushing a lot
more water than I think I am!
Thanks,
Shane

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list. The list
manager controls who belongs to the list.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------
From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: <not needed>
UNSUBSCRIBE
--------------------------------------------------------------
