Need help with new setup
I just upgrded from a 55 to a 75RR. I hooked everything up and Holy microbubbles!
My old system never had microbubles with the prefilter. The source of the bubbles is the megaflow Drain line where it dumps into the sump. I see a ton of huge bubbbles in the first chamber and they are making it to the return pump. Any way to fix this? |

Can you put a piece of pvc in the drain line that is long enough so the water empties into the sump below the water level instead of pouring in from above?
That and a filter sock ended all of my microbubbles. |
