-Ok this is how the tank will run you are going to fill the tank complete including the overflows.

-Then you will have your sump all plumbed and fill that to a certain point where you want it to be say 10" high.

-Then what you can do is have the return pipe plumbed and then you can either have it going full flow with durso pipes on the overflow pipe i find the durso's allow i little bit more flow IMO.

- Then you can either tee off the mag back to the sump with a ball valve.

that is what i would do...

the pump will probably be to strong unless you tee it off ..


AND no it will not drain your sump .

call me and i will explain it to you ok.

if you dont tee if off, u will probably get a sucking noise.
