overflow burping

[mbg75]

The overflow for my tank is burping air from the hose in the sump. Any ideas? Not easy to get to the tank side since its a 54 corner. Just started doing this recently.

yeah, have the same problem so tagging along. I found putting a piece of straight pipe just below the water line and a 90 degree elbow helps a little, but it's still noisy

I had the same problem on one of my overflows that drained straight down into my sump. I put a ball valve after my bulkhead to slow down the drain, it seemed to quiet it up for me.

do u ever clean out the pipes or check to see if anything is causing the slurping because had the same slurping noise when there was a crab in my pipe i think he was in there because i had a little algae build up in there

That's what mine looks like now, but with a small grate on the end. It's burping from the end of the sump hose up the line. Burts every 30 sec or so. Should the end of the hose be above the sump water level?

yes never have the end of the hose in the water

This is the ball valve I added. My system seems to be very quiet now.

adding any type of valve to your drain requires u to have an extra drain incase of any clogging. As for the op's question, i would suspect it to be a change in flow, if nothing in the piping is clogging it i would look at the return pump for anything that maybe trapped inside or maybe deterioration of the impeller.

If you have an air hole on the highest pipe of the durso stand pipe I would check that is is not clogged up.

I had a similar issue about a month back, where the water level on the overflow was going up and down. Every 30 seconds or so I would get a water flushing (like the toilet) sound from the tank. I cleared out the air hole and resolve my problem.

Hope that helps, Good Luck
