I'm trying to do this overflow system:
So I found some flexible pipe for a good price and a diagonal T PVC pipe.
(Ignore the grey tube, is my current filtration)
I filled the tube till the top, and suck the air out of the first curve, making the siphon until the T joint.
I positioned the T where the water level is, to drain to the sump.
It starts and stops exactly where I want, but is waaay too slow, the pipe is just pouring water slow and steady. It accelerates if I get the T joint lower, but when I simulate power outage it floods the sump.
The only thing I did different from what I see online is the flexible pipe and the diagonal T, I supposed it wouldn't be a problem since is primed until the T.
I know nothing about plumbing, so any help to make it work will be appreciated!
