Put your valve within 6" (or so) of your sump, and you'll be good.
Sounds like a good idea thanks. I'm gonna try that and see what happens. I put the valve close to the tank as it was easier than running up and down the stairs to make adjustments. How much did you need to close of this valve by? Yup I have a small room under the stairs.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
