And mine I can definitely hear from 5 feet away. Its jot as bad as if you run a pump dry or anything, bit it sounds like its gargling air. I'll just let it circulate in the basement for a while and see what happens. Thanks for the replies guys

Something to think about when you have too much flow and directing flow back into the sump, most pumps performance curves show that energy consumption is tied to flowrate and not head pressure. So, directing flow back into the sump instead of throttling them back is going to cost you more per month in electricity than simply throttling the output down with a valve (all you're doing is adding to the head pressure).

That is a very interesting concept. I'm a second year electrician, and I have the setup to test this at the moment. I might put that to the test tonight

Pop them in a ziplock bag and stick them in the sump

Stumbled across these the other day.
