Anyone built a Hofer gurgle buster?

Just curious. I'm going to make one in a few weeks and was just wondering if anyone has any advice to give. I have the instructions, but if anyone ran across any problems, please share the info. Thanks!

Explain your problem - there are LOTS of ways to silence a gurgle.

No problem. I'm just going to build one and was wondering if anyone has built one like this below. You have other ways? Mine would be built for a hang on the back overflow.

Uh. I think I have FIVE of those. Never had a name when I built them many years ago, though. I think there are dozens of people on MAAST with them.

All you do is take a piece of rigid tubing, and put it below the overflow inlet. It lets the drain "burp" continuously.

I'm currently using one of those for a HOB overflow. It works great at reducing the toilet flushing sound. Only thing I had to modify was the location and number of the holes on the pipe because the biggest drill bit I had at the time was a 1/4". Haven't had any problems in the past 10 months. Good luck!

Thanks a bunch Henny!
