I can't get this thing working right and looking for some suggestions. First picture is essentially what the overflow box looks like with the approximate heights of each. The primary drain on the left has a gate valve to adjust flow. The middle drain, I assume, picks up any excess from the primary as sort of a check valve to limit adjustments. The emergency is just that. Both drains have their ends about 2" under water in the sump. The pencil in the second picture is about the water level I think it should be at when running right.
The return pump is DC and adjustable and I have it dialed way down so it won't go over the rating of the overflow. I don't have the hole drilled in the elbow of the secondary, and can't figure out how it would help or if t's really needed.
Earlier in the week the water level came high enough to enter the emergency overflow, but I never adjusted the gate valve and it seems like the secondary drain never kicked in. Today is the water level in the overflow dropped low enough that the siphon was broken. It never restarted and just gurgled all day.
Any ideas from those that run one what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it?
