With a herbie setup, you set the display height by how high your emergency pipe is. The lower the pipe, it will either crash into the overflow(emergency pipe lower then weir teeth), higher the pipe the higher the display up to crashing over the overflow and not through the weir teeth.
This is why your sump keeps lowering, and the display rises. Once it equals out(from ATO addition) the sump lowers because you never have it going high enough to use the trickle of the emergency.
Hope that makes sense? I'm not the best at describing things. lol
Ok, so do I have to use the trickle of the emergency ? I didnt think I did. The emergency is always higher than the water level. I just thought it's there in case something bad happens and you dont want it overflowing into the home. Please stay with me, I think I'm getting this. The water is going through the teeth of the box, but always is lower than the emergency pipe. It has to trickle down it? Right now it's right at the tip. I might have to cut a bit off the length?
