Please help - drip drain pump?

[Rizzobitz]

I am failing to comprehend what is going on here. Pictures?

The drain line is so small that when it gets air bubbles in it then it stops draining. I have water filling into the tank at 4-6 gph so I ended up having my sump flood several times due to the drain line not working.

I need the drain hole to be larger or a pump to pump the water out.

I found this pump last night that has an auto shutoff and it turns itself back on once it senses water. It may be an alternative to boldtogether's suggestion. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EFGQLA?ref_=pe_623860_70668520

In my opinion, I think your should revisit the drain line discussion with your husband. You could drill a larger hole and add, say 3/4" bulkhead and running PVC plumbing or braided tubing. I don't know what pump that you're using but you may just need to add an adaptor and/or unions on that end as well.

The sump is acrylic so that should be relatively easy to drill. I think that's another option to adding more equipment.

I will ask him again. I would love to have drains that work on their own without expensive equipment and the additional expense to run them.

Gravity. upturned elbow inside the sump. a 3/4 inch street elbow screwed into a 3/4" bulkhead, with 3/4" PVC pipe run outside. I personally got a 3/4 PVC hose fitting, and a hose clamp, and attached a 50 garden hose to it. That way it reaches a gutter drain in my yard.
