Default whare do I put my float valve?

Ahh I forgot there is no overflow box to limit the amount of water going in. Hmm gonna be tricky. I forsee some floods. or darned near close.

You are going to be dancing on a fine line between burning out your pump and flooding steve. IMO. How big is your sump?

And as well since I forgot to add it. Put your float valve in the last chamber. It is going to exhibit the change due to evaporation.

If your baffles are less than 6 inches high I would not put any sand in your fuge area. It will get pulled downstream like a river and into your pump. This is more than likely going to turn into a high current area depending on the size of your return pump. If you make it a low flow sump you can do the sand bed. High flow and it will be a dust storm. Just so you know.
