Help with Overflow Box

[b-town]

Not sure how Siphon overflow boxes work!!! I hear people talk about them overflowing when power is off!! Is this true on all brands????

They do not overflow if your system is setup properly. You must have enough room in your sump or filter system to allow for the water to stop siphoning when the power cuts off. It is very simple to setup and control.

In my humble opinion, I would try to not use external overflows if you can get away with it. Find someone that is good with PVC, and you will not be sorry.

I got tire of people bashing OFB's when they don't know what they are talking about, Here is an explaination I did of how they work and why they don't flood your house.
