I'm in the process of setting up my 120G w/ basement sump. With freshwater testing, I'm getting somewhere around 1000gph through the durso standpipe. If I add any more flow, I get the 'flushing effect'. I've found that my drainpipe is very, very positional--if it's not in the right position, I get flushing. It's currently made of spaflex, which I think is causing part of the problem, because there is a nearly horizontal section and then a nearly vertical one entering the sump.
It seems that if I improve the attitude of the drainpipe, that I could get more flow into the sump, and therefore push more water up to the display. I have one of the new WavySeas units that I'd like to get as much throughput from as possible.
Is there any reason NOT to push as much gph as possible through the overflow? If I can get 12-1400 gph running quitely through the system, are there issues that I'm causing?
I guess I'm wondering about how the 600-1000 gph through sump rule is based. . . outside of noize, what other factors limit your sump gph throughput?
thanks, Kevin
