10.  The water level in the aquarium can be adjusted by using the two top adjustment screws on the 

overflow.  This is usually necessary once the overflow has been operational for a few minutes.  By 
lowering the water level in the aquarium you will raise the level in the sump and possibly overflow it.  
By raising the water level in the aquarium you will lower the water level in the sump and the return 
pump could possibly burn out if not completely submerged.  Add or remove water as needed. 

 
11.  At certain flow rates, there will be a flushing noise coming from the overflow.  This noise is caused by 

air trying to escape back up through the bulkheads while the water is going down.  The enclosed vent 
tubes will help reduce the level of noise.  Place the tubes through the small holes in the pre-filter 
screens and adjust them up or down until you find the point where the noise is reduced the most.  
Slide the small “O” rings down until they reach the pre-filter screens, securing the position of the 
vent tubes. 

Your overflow is now in operation 

 
The outside of your overflow may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth.  Do not use detergent on any 
surface that comes into contact with aquarium water.
