Maybe this will lend an idea of what we are dealing with

hey Nate..From looking at this picture and trying to help you figure out why pipe is draining slow. My guess is from looking at the excess, looks like blue pipe glue on the outside, there must be a lot of excess glue on the inside.I can teel you from my experience when gluing joints,(and this depends on if you can reach) I always wipe out the inside of the pipe joints as sometimes excess glue causes the openings to be smaller with excess glue. In gluing pipes more glue does not mean a better hold. Sometimes excess glue causes a weak spot which will in time cause the excess glue blob to fail. For example, you have glue on the male and female part of the two pipes, when you push the two together, the male pipe causes some glue to get pushed deeper into the joint, resulting in a smaller opening. I hope that made sense. I always use a cleaner and then a little glue on the inside(female) joint and a little on the outside(male) part. On the male part I usually work the glue a few times round to make sure the pipe begins to get soft before putting the two parts together. And once together, if I can reach I wipe the inside of the joint with a paper towel just to get a little excess glue out and to also make sure the joint has not been partially glued closed with excess glue. On longer pieces I use a wood dowel with the paper towel, even if I can only push the excess glue to the sides on the inside of the joint, just to be sure I did all I can to maximize the opening in the joint....ah coffee is done.

I've been tuning so that water barely goes down the top drain. To avoid noise.

Maybe that's my issue?

Gurgles really bad otherwise

I put "T" on my pipe so that I can have a pipe higher then the tank. The pipe that is taller then the tank from the "T" , I then put reducer insert in so that it smaller then the main pipe. This allows air to escape or be pulled above the tank, rather then inside the tank, reduces the fight of water and air in the tank. It does still make a little noise but I have carbon filters on the top of the pipe that higher then the tank. For example, on my 300, my drains are 1 1/2 inch pipes(3 of them) the "T" are 1 1/2" but the pipe that goes from the "T" to 10 inches above the tank reduces to 1/2" which I them made a carbon container with a 1/2 thread which screws into the stand pipe above the tank. The carbon helps prevent any airborn smells from kitchen or cleaning products from getting into tank and any smell from the tank getting into the air...

Playing catch-up today.

Washing sheets, went to grocery store, put all my outside plants back in their normal homes now that Idalia's winds aren't a risk anymore....

Cleaned tank glass, gave it a dose of snow.... Might even stick my hands in there to right some wrongs when it's done clearing up.

Maybe even a water test later.....

Hubs is cleaning some wheels he bought (paint stripping... turns out they were factory color, primered, gold colored, sealed, black plastidipped, sealed, then painted purple and sealed again - yikes.

Once he's done it's off to the property to stake out driveway plans for our Tuesday AM meeting with the superintendent of the contracting company.

Go tell me what to do for future tank plans, I'm stuck in a conundrum or 5.

 

[danieyella]

Oh, and Skeletor has been struggling with the hard floors and old age dog panic.

Got him something to try, now he's got a fancy manicure like me.
