I have searched for 20 min. now for plans on a DIY pvc overflow. I have yet to find one and was wondering if somebody can point my in the direction of a link. Thank you very much.
 
only one question, that air thing drilled into the top thats to keep the syphon going right?? or when the power shuts off?? a little more detailed would help as to i am new to overflows.

that valve is to remove any trapped air in the top loop, and to start the siphon. the tallest pipe on it also hase a hole drilled into it to keep the siphon going.
 
Do you have a write up on it or directions?? I just need something so that I can get a detailed look at it. The air thing and hole on the other pole is for it the power shuts off and comes back on and when the water level reaches the overflow again it will syphon again right??

I think that has explained most of it, i read almost every post but no super detailed write up of how to make one =S. Am I blind?



No dude, I'm in the same place you are. I want something with exact lengths and that explains what purpose it all shows. Let me know if you found anything.
 
Search for the INDY DIY Thread. Mike Dunagan made one and shows pretty decent pics.
