![]() A few thing you should keep in mind.
You will at some point want to take it appart. Use "Unions" in logical spots so that you can remove sections of the plumbing. If your sump will be located right below the overflow, there is little need for Spa Flex. Save your move and just do it with regular PVC. Or upgrade from Sch 40 to sch 200. it is thiner walled high pressure. You will want to put a ball valve just after your pump to regulate the amount of water returning to the tank. Do a search for Derso stand pipe. That will be a great addition to the overflow as it will quite down the water drain sounds. J |

![]() Alrighty. But basically the same potential problems still exist, because any overflow can potentially clog and fail.
Also make sure your return piping won't siphon your tank back into your sump when power fails. If you want your return low in the tank, then drill holes in the piping just under the water line so that when the water level drops from back-siphoning, it sucks in water and breaks the siphon. |

![]() lol, yeah I meant air breaks the siphon, thanks.
I don't have a picture unfortunately. How are you running your water return plumbing? Is it going over the top of the tank and in, or is the tank drilled for this as well? |
