I bought this setup from Golds. They designed the sump for me as well.

I read somewhere, maybe on this forum, that using elbows in your overflow will decrease the slurping sound. Has anyone ever tried that?

I was having the same problem getting the larger OD flex pipe to bend properly. What I did was fill the bathtub with as hot of water as I could and let the pipe sit in it for 1/2 and hour. After that it was a great deal easier to bend.

Good idea. I'll give that a try too. I was thinking since I want to be able to take it apart in the future, I may just cut the flex into smaller lengths and connect them with unions like some suggested.
