Hi Graham,

I've used 22mm pipe in mine going into a 90deg bend with a load of Den Brevan to seal it. Works a treat!

Hi there,

You may have sorted your overflow now? But here's a couple of pics of mine. I set the skimmer so that the top up line on the skimmer could be used as an overflow straight into my waste line you could easily as you suggested put a T on the inside to adjust the water level.

Regards,

Andy
