 Re: DIY Overflow and Sump
if that illustration of yours is what it is like then yours will not keep siphon after a power outage. The way that mine is set up the t is raised so that water stays in the U-tube even after water drops before the overflow level. Its really hard to explain through typing. Your drainage point has to be higher than the bottom of the U-tube. Its the only way your water will stay in the u-tube so that when water starts again it will continue to siphon.
