The new design has a longer hose which coils twice on top of the tank before running to the outside. The added length and coils prevents water from flowing directly through the tube to form the siphon.

Hi, I read another post where someone did something similar, he added a loop on hose after it dropped down thru flooring...
I'm concerned that water would get stuck in lowest point of loop? and would block air flow, defeating purpose of a vent...
For me, I am replacing my single overflow/vent line (bc it was so black inside), it clamps onto a 90' elbow from the side of water tank, and drops straight down thru floor...
I'm currently trying to figure out if it would be better after clamping new hose onto elbow, to just let it hang straight down as before,
or to take it at slight upward angle to the gravity fill port vent line opening (where nothing is attached)??
But if hose leaves elbow and then curves up, even slightly, it could cause a water seal in tubing... like the loops seem like they'd cause...
I only have the one vent line, maybe with 3 as some people have, it's different?
I just want to be able to fully fill my already small tank (30#) and use water for more than the toilet...
