I just wanted to give a thumbs up to the Durso Standpipe. It turned my overflow toilet into a silent dream. If any of you have a noisy overflow you should consider this. http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/standpipe/standpipe_frame.htm - http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/standpipe/standpipe_frame.htm ------------- --Mike France, Southern Utah |

I bought a kit like that for a friends tank. At least it was a similar design. Works great. ------------- Contact me for professional aquarium maintenance and localy grown coral frags. [URL=http://www.aquatitranquility.com][/URL] |

We use that style on our ranch for the water troughs for the cattle. We don't use that to keep things quiet, we use it because it is so reliable and sturdy.  Especially when you have livestock that try to drink, bite, kick, and swim next to the overflow!  Of course, we used metal pipe, not plastic!------------- Rodney, Sandra, Jeffery, and Laura Struhs South Jordan, Utah 98th South & 40th West.

I've used dursos, or a variation thereof, in every "built in overflow" tank I've had or put together for someone else. The simplistic, reliable design has always worked for me. ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |

I wasn't a big fan of Dursos since I had tried a few variations without quieting effect. I told jon about my issue and he recommended I modify the airhole size, I did, and sure enough, perfect flow and near perfect silence. BIG FAN now! Thanks Jon |
