re: Need the brains of the OB

Been thinking about this...if you want only simultaneous flow from both pipes when the poo-water level has reached flood stage, then why wouldn't you just run a jumper line from the belly of the upper pipe down to the lower pipe?

BTW, I've engineered enough shite today. This is making my head hurt.

that's corny

Float sensor in the over flow tank that opens pipe to the perforated pipe.

You can have any fluids leave the overflow exit pipe?

I like doosh's idea

This is to treat runoff

Overflow is several inches higher than surfac level

why do you want your treated water drain to only work when you have overflow ?
seems like that would just cause overflow and your treatment system wouldnt really be treating anything at all

Ok.

My assumption was that the perforated pipe would always be flowing water that travels through the filter media, whatever it is. And the overflow would be for increased volume or if the perforated piping was getting plugged up. Just to keep from spilling over the sides.

Yea

He doesn't want the water to exit from the overfill but rather direct it and have it drain through the perfed pipe. However if it doesn't keep up you need a sensor to open the main drain on the overflow bucket to keep it from overfilling.
