Please check out my update comment below I added pictures.There should be nothing much wrong with restricting your current pump.
But if you can switch without a lot of bother then it will be more power-efficient to use a right-sized pump instead.
You can also save the money you'd need to spend on a valve by switching to a smaller pump. (Anything but ball valves are quite expensive, and ball valves aren't very easy to adjust....so valves work, but aren't very ideal solutions IMO.)
If you switch, I'd consider switching to a Quiet One.....very inexpensive, excellent warranty, super quiet, super efficient.
Generally speaking, I would not recommend a DC pump for return.
You were right!!!!! Thank you a million times! I just added an update comment with picturesTHank you!!!
I added more water ! Thank you !!Before you replumb everything, did you try more water?
The flex tube worked !It helps reduce the noise if you use some flex tube between the pump and the PVC, not sure if you did this already. Also don't forget that when you fill the tank and the sump all the plumbing is empty, so when you start any size pump it will drain down your sump, until all the plumbing is full. You need an extra couple gallons of water when you start the system. As long as the drain lines are handling the flow you just need to add more water to the sump.
Thank you ! It’s my first tank and I’m so proud.Glad everything worked out. It looks good. I love DIY projects. There's a lot of DIY going on in my build
