If you turn your pump on a higher speed then you will need to open that valve more. You just want a trickle to go down that tall middle pipe.Is this valve to closed or will this be ok?
Haha they did but I epoxy glued it the wrong way round!

Now if you are getting bubbles coming out of the pipe in the sump then either the bubbles are coming in from your overflow box or the pipe is too deep in the sump and the force of the water can not push all the air out of the pipe at start up. So before cutting the pipe I would lower the sump water level a bit and see if that helps. Another thing to keep in mind is when the pumps are off some water in the overflow and in the pipes will drain back into the sump. This can be a problem if it overflows. And the return pipe that goes back into the tank sucks water back into the sump until some air gets and breaks the siphon. That can be adjusted or fixed a few different ways.
The noise is from the stand pipe taking to much then the second drain starts to catch up. You need to find the happy balance between the two thats why you have a ball valve. (the ball valves are harder to tune) Start to slowly close the ball valve on the (short drain) you want the second drain to do some of the work and it will be dead silent. I have the same set up
I have ended up playing around more and got water coming out of the emergency line too.
Great newsI have ended up playing around more and got water coming out of the emergency line too.
Increase in return pump will not lower the level. What you will need to do is remove some of the water from the sump or tank until you get the level in the sump you want.I have been trying to get my sump level lower in the right chamber as its about 2 inches higher than the glass to the next chamber. I am guessing that is just a case of increase power on return pump and get more water to flow to the main tank?
What I would have done is 1 use as full siphone with a gate valve. 2 would be the emergency with the top of the pipe high up to stop the water from splashing over the wier.
