I'm guessing not. Looked like someone had put a compression coupler on it (it was already fine, terminating inside f+e) and stuck another bit of pipe almost reaching bottom of tank. What am I missing? Removed it.

Just worth mentioning, f + e tanks should only be one third full , loads overfill them.
I always empty them back down to a third full after changing fault ball valves. Usually by syphoning into a bucket using a bit of hose and getting a mouthful of s**t 1 out of every 10 attempts.
Was piped up so it nearly reach bottom of f+e tank. Wasn't submerged due to increased water level.
Why would piping it up to the bottom allieviate the symptoms of pumping over? Less noise of filling? Why would anyone notice given CWSC constantly filling/emptying? Still confused.
But a wet vac man! Best thing I've ever done, no more gagging from sludges up water!
It wouldn't stop pumping over if anything I would of thought it would of made it worse but it will stop the noise so the customer would of thought it was ok.
