The tank came already plumbed from the previous owner. Drain is 1.25" using PVC and makes a 90 degree to the left and then another 90 into the hole for the sump. There is no valve installed and the PVC is about 1" under the water level. There is a lot of bubbling and splashing noise at this point. The top of the durso has a hole already drilled and I tried adding some air tubing into the hole but made no difference.
I know the 90 degree bends aren't ideal but don't really want to spend $40+ for a new union to redo the everything. Plus I don't think there's enough room to do 45s anyways. I guess the only thing left to try is to see if I can fit a ball valve after the second 90. There is about 6-7 inches from the elbow to the sump. What do you guys think?
