hi
i am having the same problem ,iv just built a four chamber filter and the way i got round it was to add extra pipe work nearer the end ,another way i think you can do it i think is by raising the drums in sequence ,say the first drum 4 inch of the ground ,second drum 3 inches of the ground ,3rd drum 2 inches of the ground ,last drum 1 inch from the ground ,that extra head water at the begging should create more force to allow the water to move more freely in the beginning . saying that you would have to alter all the pipe work which would be a big job in its self ,if it wasn't to bad i would just leave it as it is ,but if first chambers are nearly over flowing you could always just reduce the flow a little , i only added 2 x 1 inch pipes on my last 2 chambers and that was enough to let the water move more freely and now my levels are fine .
hope that helped some what
regards
Mark
