grats on the sump. I know how it feels to be waiting for 1 piece of equipment before you can fill it up.

so i got it all plumbed and leaked check. did a simulated power failure and yeah sump is not large enough to support the back flow. tried drilling siphon breaks no luck so now im in waiting again i purchased 2 check valves for each side of the return.

Everything looks great so far!! Ever thought about putting ball valves on the 2 return lines after the "Y" coming from the pump? Might come in handy if you need to fine tune the flow going to the sea swirl and scwd... Just a thought! Good luck!!

Nice! If you do, try getting some union ball valves...They will make life so much easier if you ever need to disconnect the pump for cleaning. I ran them on the suction and returns of all of my external pumps. If I ever had a problem, I just un-plugged the pump, close all ball valves (intake and return) and the pump could easily be removed. Then, when it is time to start the pump back up, you would not need to re-prime anything. Just screw the unions back together, re-open all the valves and plug it in
