Thanks for the tip. I didn't glue the stand pipes in for maintenance purposes. Also when I open the gate valve completely, it does a nice job of flushing the sump so that should be a regular task.

I chose not to use the ball valves to limit the return pump. Kinda silly since I them on there already huh? I think I'll stick with the stand pipe.
