Oily film?

Saw this when I was looking up CPR overflows. Any thoughts?


Get at least a 20 gallon and do not buy any overflow that doesn't have a u-tube design. no CPR overflows...they tend to overflow water onto your carpet. U-Tube is the only style you want.

I don't know where you found that at. I have done many tests on my cpr overflow and even if I break the syphon on it on purpose then bring back power the pump always gets the syphon going before the tank gets high enough to hit the kill switch.

I used a CPR overflow for years and never had a flood...

I thought that sounded strange.

Whats wrong with the Eshoppes u tube? I've had mine running nine months and all I do is clean it once a month. Use an airline to suck the air out and thats it for the prime, never gave me any trouble. Paid $38 delivered.

Both styles of overflows will work if set up and maintained correctly. The horror stories are almost always the owners fault but you will never hear that from them!
