I have a 125 with 2 overflow boxes.
I took one off and soaked it in vinegar for about a week.
I then put it back on and tokk the other off and soaked it.

Now both are back on but there is a gulping/gurgle sound about every 20 seconds and I can see the hose on the left side jump when it gurgles.
I know if there is air in a J tube what to do,but how do I burp this to stop gurrrrrrgling?

Fishing an airline tube down the hose until the flushing stops, or slowing down the return flow is the easiest way to stop the gurgling.


If the air is collecting in the u-tube just suck it out with some hose, and look into sticking some mesh or foam into the overflow box just to stop the bubbles from entering and getting stuck in there.

It might go away as the plumbing slimes up after a few weeks.
