    Does anyone use any CPR cs overflow? Could someone send a side photo of what it looks like? I amlooking for an unobtrusive box since mine is HUGE at 5"Hx5"Wx3.5"L. I just want to get a good unobtrusive overflow. I run a UPS and will run a toms aqua lifter to make sure no bubbles get stuck and that it doesnt lose its syphon.

    All overflows will be about the same inside dimensions.
    But I would highly recommend ditching the CPR and getting an Eshopps. The CPR's require those lift pumps, are high maintenance, and notorious flood causers.

    I personally think that they get a bad rep. I ran mine for a year with only cleaning the prefilter once a month. Not a single problem.

    The part that is in the tank seems much smaller than my current SeaClear overflow that came w/ my sump. I run a UPS that keeps my return pump and heater running during power outages and would plan on running a tom's aqualifter just in case. They seem to work well. Seems as though most people who have had these overflow on them don't perform maintenance. All overflows need maintenance.

    Even just the dimensions of the part that sits in the tank would be helpful. From the videos I have seen it is much smaller, but I just want to make sure it is a smaller box before I purchase one.

    Mine is as follows:

    Hight 5 5/8"
    Width 6"
    Depth 1 5/8"

    On the CS90, should be the same dimensions except the width which should be 8".

    Thanks for the info. I will be going ahead and buying one now that it has been confirmed that it has a smaller in tank footprint than mine.
    K+ for all

    I went with cpr and was very dissapointed. Unless you run the aqualifter forget getting anywhere close to the posted flowrate. By the time you pay for the the overflow and the pump you could buy 2 eshopps. If you want mine ill Give it to you for $40.
