MUST-SEE DIY Surface overflow | Potential issues and ways to overcome it [Tutorial]

I've made another transparent overflow. This time it is a surface overflow. Hopefully this will give you an idea why a surface overflow would potentially fail as air gets trapped inside the overflow pipe.

The Venturi just solved a major issue I was having with mine. Thank you so much

[@TheStreamAffair]

Glad i could help

[@shababhsiddique]

wow really awesome concept i was worried the overflow will fail when i am away for days and flood my house. I know its an old video but Question: The 2 elbows on the top that make the bridge, if i change 1 of them into a T and a end-cap should the air have a place to stay in that area and give siphon a longer time to stay active? Question2: If the pump that is sucking the air using ventury effect is lower and display tank water is lower than the drain is it possible for the pump to suck the water out of the tube entirely and stop the siphon?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Nope

[@mammawombwomb]

Very well done! Thanks.

[@TheStreamAffair]

Thanks!

[@macsdf1]

nice, how close does the airline need to be for this to work? what if you want to put the return line on the otherside of the tank etc, not right next to the entry?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Not sure i understand your question

[@mohdallif1317]

terima kasih bang. brg2 paip abg beli dekat mana ?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Semua boleh beli dekat shopee (oversea seller)

[@gd.ritter]

Would making the down pipe under the overflow intake longer give time for the air to separate from the water before it can get into the siphon?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Sorry, I’m not able to fully understand the question asked. Which “down pipe” are you referring too?

[@bosskaloi]

Where can you get those clear pipes set?

[@TheStreamAffair]

If you are from Malaysia, you can get it from Shopee (China international seller)

[@bosskaloi]

@@TheStreamAffair one more thing, if the power goes on after a brownout, will there be air again inside the pipe that needs to be sucked out manually?

[@TheStreamAffair]

@@bosskaloi not required as the venturi will suck the air out

[@31X70]

hi bro is this suitable for bigger tank ?

[@TheStreamAffair]

It depends on what pump and how big ur sump tank is. Whether it can store the water displacement from ur main tank

[@dog181]

what's the name of that black thing where you put the aerator tube?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Tat is a rubber grommet

[@alihasan-fg3qr]

Can you make the air out without pump machine?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Yes u can make it using venturi suction which i demo-ed in my video

[@alihasan-fg3qr]

@@TheStreamAffair should I put the Venturi higher or lower than the pipe?

[@alihasan-fg3qr]

@@TheStreamAffair the Venturi that you demo is using pump machine, am I right?

[@TheStreamAffair]

No i am using venturi method to suck out the air

[@alihasan-fg3qr]

@@TheStreamAffair so, the Venturi can work by itself without any water flow through the Venturi?

[@yanasupriyatna8771]

Maaf mau tanya ..ini berarti boleh gak...gak pake skimer...

[@TheStreamAffair]

Ye.ni utk sedut air daripada permukaan.

[@ccc4911]

Hi, is the end cap drilled with a hole on top?

[@TheStreamAffair]

No there is no hole in the end cap. The opening is required for you to fill up water during initial setup and u need to close it off during operation.

[@ccc4911]

@@TheStreamAffair thanks

[@LuisAlvarado-yp8kr]

If you drill a hole on the cap and make that pipe a little higher you would need the little hose to prime it

[@sola9649]

bahagian venturi tu ada versi simplified tak?

[@sola9649]

kalau tembuk L & letak hose connector terus kat situ boleh tak ?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Saya pernah cuba. tak menjadi, ada tekanan air di dalam paip, air akan sedut separuh sahaja....setelah cuba buat menggunakan diy venturi saya ni..udara dapat sedut keluar..kalau tak dapat buat diy venturi, boleh beli pump yg blh sedut keluar udara/air.

[@sola9649]

saya tiru design ni kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHzZZJKYn6-Ha5I .. so far boleh cutoff dan reprime automatically

[@sola9649]

baru siap build and test run

[@andrisani6658]

I don’t understand if this system act like a syphon or overflow.I want the excess water to fall into the tube, I don't want the water to be sucked out of the tube quickly like a siphon

[@TheStreamAffair]

It is an overflow. Excess water will flow into the slit and will get suck out accordingly. If the excess water is added slowly, then it will also get expel slowly.

[@azka_speed8bp181]

seandainya overflownya berada di dasar aquarium apakah sama jalur air outputnya??

[@TheStreamAffair]

Maaf tak berapa faham soalan kamu

[@azka_speed8bp181]

@The Stream Affair input aquarium berada di atas permuka an air.misalkan didasar air apakah bisa seperti itu aliran airnya?

[@TheStreamAffair]

Maaf ye, saya masih tidak faham soal kamu.
