After watching a YouTube where a guy modified his I wasn’t expecting it to work. Curiosity got the better of me though and I had some overflow pipe …
I used the same 5mm diameter holes as the original but increased the number from 16 to 30. As far as I can tell it’s made no difference at all.
If it has improved the flow then it’s certainly by only a tiny amount on my filter. Conclusion - don’t bother. I’ll be putting the old pipe back next time I clean the pre filter. I’ll keep it though in case it works with the larger impeller when I try it again.
