been haven a problem with my filter system , was just too loud , making a gulping sound , so I ask for help , and im going with what everyone told me to do , 1 pipe shorter and at full siphon with a valve that's tune to my pumps and other 2 overflows little taller ,,,, I added a valve right under the bulk head and then pipe it off to my filter tank and started to run my system , it was siphon way too fast at first so was turning the valve slowly and I guess the stress of the valve and elbow right under the bulk head was too much , the bulk head started slowly leaking , drip here and there , so I get my plyers out and tighten my bulk head nut down some , didn't get much more then 1/2 a turn , and the nut stripped out and came very loose and had water starting spraying me in the face , I played with the nut and gotten it kinda cross thread to hold it tempory , after about 1 full min it was back to leaking a drip here and there , got my pump out and started draing my tank , which take about 30 min , which when your 500 gallon tank is leaking from the bottom hole , not fast enough , tank drain and clean up my water , im going have to cut my pipe off and install new bulk head and replum it again , have to say my friday night really suck , very frusted , anyway , on a good thought , was working silent , couldn't hear it run at all ,very happy ,till I about made a slip and slide in my house , anyway waiting on bulk heads , I order the regular schedule 40 ,, but thinking im going to get the schedule 80 bulk head , little stronger now , till then
