I am trying to get my overflow working after a long layoff. I have the aqua lifter pump that came with it. It is not really helping get the syphen back. :mad2:
Any suggestions to get this thing running again??

Assuming the unit was cleaned and prefilled before trying to get syphon back?

Clean-Yes
Prefilled is tough since the water runs right down to my sump as soon as I add it.

Is this a single outlet overflow?
And you need to fill the s bend or the area that the siphon pump draws from.

I got it. Just had to be more persistant with sucking through the tube coming off the top of the overflow. YUCK!
Unfortunantly it looks like my gen x pump(return) is not functioning properly. It used to flow a lot faster than it is now. Rrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
