I only have a ball valve above my return pump but restricting the performance is a bad idea I heard because i butns out the pump faster. What can I do to fix this? Thank you
Your gurgling sound is a full siphon emptying the overflow tube/box.

You must restrict the flow of water into the sump in order to stop this from happening.
