They do tend to be fiddly...and I agree with whomever said that gate valves work better. Ball valves are better used for on/off applications. I frequently walk by and give one of the herbie gate valves a 1/32 or less rotation turn.
However...Are you saying that your sump is fluctuating 4-5" during the day? If that is the case, where do you think that 4"-5" of water is going? That would likely mess up your evaporative replacement system.
