I tried turning up return flow and increasing

If an inch,somewhat restricted
Typical is 1.25-1.5”
You can try slightly slowing down return pump and see if overflow water comes down at a faster rate

I tried increasing and decreasing the return along with the overflow valve. It either drained out the return chamber or overfilled the 1st chamber and made that god awful sucking sound.

I'm trying to avoid another pump or bubbler in the fuge chamber of I can help it.

I haven't looked into 3-d printing filter chamber options. I wonder if there's anything for extra filter areas that might increase flow from 1 to 2.
