Can't wait to her what you think of the waveline pump.
That will work. water level in the overflow drains quicker than the tank does, could probably get away with just the hole and not the line. I will have to give them both a try.
The pump goes online tomorrow for a test run. I can't really hear the Quiet one , but I bet the Waveline is even quieter. Hope that it has a little more power than the pump I have now, I think the sump can handle a bit more flow.

If you don't put a piece of air line in the hole it will spray every where, the air line will control it.
