Help with my return adjustment

[Manleyt86]

So I've recently built a sump room in my basement and im having a little trouble adjusting my overflow and return. I have plumbed in 1 inch pvc to the sump in tbe basement. Im running a jabeo 10 000 gph return pump and my problem is trying to find sweet spot to run quite and good flow... my best I have found is my return running at 75 percent and the overflow baffle set about quarter to halfway shut... it will run good for awhile then it gets micro bubbles and will get caught up and gurgle breaking its flow and eghh just frustrating. Any tips or tricks for flow im clueless and trying to learn. Is there a formula or do most just play with it till they get it to work ? So many questions and I don't have enough experience.

Looks like you have a single drain? Is it setup as a durso?

I have a single and an emergency. It is the original plumbing from my 100.3 waterbox I just bought. Waterbox plumbing is metric and I used standard one inch pvc to plumb it to my sump in the basement. I tried to use minimal changes in angle and if I had to make a 90 I used two 45s when I did

Can you post a picture of your overflow and the drains,?

I am at work but this is identical to it and how the plumbing works without taking a picture when I get home best I got

That's a herbie style drain. I've never run a herbie. But seems like you just need to close the gate valve a "touch" as the water level is low enough that you are occasionally sucking a little air.

Read up on herbie tuning.
