    Durso gurgling?

    I've had my Durso standpipe for about five or six months, no problems.

    Suddenly, this weekend, it started getting that dreaded "toilet flush" noise.

    Any ideas why it would start all of the sudden? Any remedy suggestions? For whatever reason, the water level in the overflow is dropping below the intake of the standpipe.

    Make sure the air hole is open. It can get clogged with saltcreep.

    No changes. Although Ninong is probably right. I actually pulled the cap off (didn't glue it for just such a situation ), turned it over and put on top to create some vaccuum and fixed the problem.

    I will now try cleaning out the holes and put the thing back together the right way.
