Where does water go in overflow

Out the top as in overflow! You have to drain part of the saved water out if the barrel is completely full which could be a pain if there's a downpour.

Hi Elizabeth! When the barrel is full, it flows out a slot located in the front of the barrel on the "underside" of the lip. (if the hose clips at 1o'clock, the slot is at 6oclock.) You can re-direct the water flowing out of this slot with a rope stuck in the slot, then guided to another bucket, or else it just dribbles down the front of the Urn (no huge splash zone.) I have really liked this design, I have three of them around my house!

small opening on the top (upper lip curvature)..sometimes I attached a black (8ft) drainage plastic pipe that directs the extra rain water to the garden.

Water seeps from the pipe union and is directed, through a channel, into the coffee basket. But it must pass over a step-down created by the retainer basket. This is not nor will it ever be water tight. To the dope engineers, why did you not direct the overflow channel into the primary reservoir? That approach was taken by Mr. Coffee. Consequently, clear water will eventually flow onto the hot plate.

Yes, there is a hole near the top. If water reaches that level, it goes out the hole, through a flexible pipe and away from your house. You need to purchase the overflow pipe separately if I remember correctly.

It overflows. You can obtain a diverter that lets the water flow out the down spout of the guttering system when the barrel gets full.

Yes, there is an overflow. I did not use the faucet that came with the sink. I gave that away and do not remember the manufacturer.

There is a flow control valve on the tube that goes to the overflow pipe. The water level in the bowl can be adjusted so that it fills properly. This worked in my case for both the low and regular flush.

I find the question hard to understand. The intake is through the slotted sides. That way the water passes through the filter, through the pump and out.

All the water goes into the rain barrel unless the barrel is full. Then, instead of overflowing onto the ground, the water is diverted back to the gutter. If you use all the water before it ever fills up because of limited rain fall, then the water diverter will probably never come into play.

What do you mean by overflow? The design of the unit is made to trickle water through the filter and out the drain tube. It keeps the filter wet so when air passes over it the vapor is released into the air.

You have to carry the reservoir to the sink. The opening for the water is at the base.

What I found, is that there is some kind of suction that happens. I put a thin washcloth in between (btwn the bottom water vessel & the white ring that sits on top of that). I no longer have the overflow problem. Hope that helps!

slight confusion on my part... the hole in the top is the water exit (not inlet).

No it does not over fill the bowl, without going in to a lot of physics the water never exceeds the level of the bowl.

The arrows show the flow of the water. So I use mine to pull the air out of my CPR overflow and keep the siphon working. The tube from the overflow is connected to the port with the arrow pointing into the pump and then the other port is connected to the tube that is the outflow into the tank. So in other words think of it as the pump will pull into the side where the arrow points into the pump and will pump out of the side that points out of the pump.

This is a big deal. When you buy a vessel sink... or any sink for that matter, there is a little hole near the top of the sink so that when water nears overflowing, the water instead goes down the hole into the drain. I bought a sink without the overflow hole and one of my kids left the drain plugged. In the case where sinks do have an overflow hole, you want to make sure that you also get a drain stopper than can receive the water; or else the overflow hole is useless.

The water reservoir fills from the bottom but has a screw on lid with a spring activated button. Fill it with water and screw on the lid. When you turn the reservoir over it does not dispense any water until the button is pressed. This occurs when the reservoir is placed on the base and given a slight twist. When you remove the reservoir the button closes and no water spills out.

We have two of these sinks. Neither of them appear to have that problem. I did not note this in my review. You don't even notice the overflow unless you take the time to stick your head in the bowl and look for it! Sinks are great. We love them!!
