FIX MY SUMP??!! Video

[snowhnter]

My filter socks can not handle the flow rate. Socks are 4"x14" 300um. Realistic flow rate might be 750gph. Running an Eheim 1262 so I know it can't be much more. Brand new socks and they overflow within 15min of starting. I had a single inlet, didn't work. Split into a dual inlet that empty directly into the socks, thought that the water pressure would help, it didn't. Only difference was that instead of taking an hour to overflow it took less than 15 min. PLEASE help, getting very aggrivated that my new wet/dry, that is supposed to be an upgrade, is not working as I had hoped. Thanks for any advice that you have.

How about it? Any help out there on this holiday weekend? I got parts and ready to work, if only someone can direct me.

Where the water is entering the socks is it entering under the water or falling into the socks? Do you know what I'm asking?

Water enters the socks under the water through 1" pvc .

Is there a lot of air getting into your drain? Thats all I can think of. I just got my sump up and running a week ago and my socks are still doing good.

No, air at all. I have the pvc overflow vented so that it can breath but there are no noticible bubbles in the sump.

I'm trying to keep this thread on the "What's new" hoping that someone will see it and know how to fix my problem. I posted the video in the previous post. If you need some more info just ask. Thanks.

DANG!! I thought I had fixed the problem with my socks. I washed them out and reinstalled them and they were working great for about a hour and are now overflowing again.What do I have to do? I thought that the, "clean them every 3 days", was going to be a pain but clean out every hour WON'T happen. NOW WHAT!
