Okay, so I cleaned up the lines to and from my sump a little bit. I reduced the flex tubing from the overflow by a few feet (it used to have a loop before running into my sump). I also cut off a good foot or more from the return tubing. I am using the AGA overflow that has a durso type fitting. 1" overflow bulkhead, and 3/4" return. My return pump is a Mag 7.
Now I am getting flushing in my overflow that I was not getting before. I can think of two possible solutions and I was wondering which you think would fix the issue (or any other thoughts).
1. drill the hole bigger in the cap of the durso pipe.
2. put a ball valve in the return line to restrict flow.
I think that the flushing effect means that I need to do #2. Any thoughts.
Right now my overflow tube empties above the water line of the sump. Do you think submerging this will help? I need to do that anyway to get rid of the waterfall sound. Or maybe some hard plumbing instead of the flex tube?
Okay, I'll stop thinking of solutions now so I can get some answers
