a plastic chain inside your pipe so the water flows down the chain-also helps silence the pipe.but it can restrict the flow.the only other suggestion is use filter floss at the bottom of the pipe

Also pump, plumbing and tank sizes
And what you have for fittings on you drain stack - open or screened etc

Hello

I wouldn't use anything inside the pipe. Will prefer to vent the air like with Durso. And then setup baffles in the sump.
