Loud waterbox overflow

[eqbal9947]

Hello again everyone.
i got water in my tank and cannot for the life of my get the overflow tuned in to be quiet.
I keep adjusting and waiting but it seems to always either flow into the emergency or be way too low, no matter how little I turn the fate valve. Help!! It’s driving my insane

You turn the valve to where the water is just barely seeping Over the emergency drain . Presuming you have two drains and the lowest one has a shut off valve

Are you waiting a while between each adjustment to allow the levels to stabilise?

Yeah. Like hours sometimes

When the water is just seeping in. Sometimes even just bubbling in, makes a gurgling sound

I plumbed my 200xl last week and had the same issue. I resolved it by closing the gate valve all the way. This allows the over flow to fill up. Then open gate valve for the water to drain about an inch below the emergency drain. Mine is completely silent now

I’ll try that! Thanks
