Plumbing: How would you finish this?

[phallock]

I switch to spa-flex on these drain lines because of the running water noise from the rigid pipes. It is now eerily silent, only hear the hum of the pump.

But I need to figure out how to terminate these lines into the sump - need room for a skimmer, etc. I'm considering shortening the lines and have them terminate into a 1.5" or 2" common pipe, then into the sump. My concern would be that I'd be right back where I was, with noisy running/splashing water in the pipes. My other thought is spa-flex/90 elbow/rigid PVC for each line, the rigid piece attaching to the side and into the bottom of the sump.

Thoughts?

You could do as you suggest and dump them all into a single pipe. In order to keep noise and bubbles down, you can drill a bunch of holes in the pipe below the water line and put a cap on the end. Then put a few slits in the pipe above the water line to let air escape and this keeps down on noise and bubbles.

Another option would be to get a piece of plexiglas that you can put across one end of the sump and install bulkheads in that to which you can connect the spaflex.

Pipe is pretty cheap, so you could experiment

I have an idea to tidy it up a little. Get 2 T fittings and one 4 way fitting. So it would look like this. Then put maybe some 45 or 90 degree fittings. I donno.

Maybe
