It’s rated for 700 GPH. It seems to be coming from the joint connection. Not the bulkhead seal itself (I.e. not from under the part of the bulkhead sitting on top of the sump)

But now I have water slowly creeping up from the bulkhead in the sump. I’m assuming the pvc isn’t cut 100% straight and water is finding a way through whatever opening may be there to come up. Anyone run into this before? Any suggestions?

I have a dorso and had to restrict the return flow to the display. My pump doesn’t have a controller so I’m using the valve to control the return flow.

So I pulled it apart and glued it in. So far so good!

Hello and welcome!

So another question. I had a small leak in the drain. Hours of trial and error and 1/8 inch later it seems to be working now. However, there is the slightest slow drip from the bulkhead. I didn’t glue that part as everything was so right. Do you think gluing it down would solve it?

It actually did seem like it became a problem. It was putting pressure on the bulkhead and I was getting a small drip. I originally didn't glue that part but I took it apart (thankful i used unions), glued the pipe to the bulkhead and took care of the sag in the pipe and so far so good...

No leaks so far! Had to shut the ball valve a lot more than I expected to get the dorso to quiet down. Have it tuned in really nice now though. I have a support beam on the stand where I plan on running some rope to hold the return up so it doesn't sag downward. Do you think I would have...

Ahhh. Two drains. That's what I was missing. Pic makes more sense now lol :)

Thanks @Sponge! I have the primer and the glue. I thought I read or saw somewhere that you weren't supposed to use one on the actual bulkhead itself. I plan on using it everywhere else (as well as the bulkhead if its not an issue). I have the purple as i'm just using white PVC and don't...

Yeah, everyone I've spoken to is hearing 8/11 as well. Seems like the default answer everyone is getting. Hopefully its up well before that.

Ball valve came in the mail today and I'm just waiting for my Home Depot order to be ready for pickup. Going to convert my current flex tubing to hard plumbing so I can reduce the return flow to the tank and kill the noise my dorso makes. Question - You aren't supposed to use primer on the...

Love this forum. Any idea I come up with has already been discussed :) @MadReefer Did you end up connecting the two sumps? @Justin Can you provide more details on how you did this?

Stay safe everyone!

Hey man. Our lights have flickered a few times here already. Is your power still out? Any ETA from power company?

I’ve been keeping the blog updated but figured I’d share some pics as well.

Great putting faces to names last night. Definitely jealous of @amado setup. I’d love to do the same to my basement.

Does anyone know of, or use, a cryptic zone? Been doing some research on it and it seems there was a lot of discussion about it about five years ago, but then around 2018 everything stopped. I did find one thread on another forum that was recently picked back up and saw that GEO sells a cryptic...

Very nice!
