Before shelling out the bucks for a Sumo rig, check Ebay for a two stage reg. Got mine for under $50. If you need any help with the mods, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

I hear ya. well good luck
More pics of the sump. I want to know what you are doing with the water flow. Dumping it under the water's surface below water level?
it's all i have on my phone right now, and i'm at work. but yes, the pipe goes almost all the way down to the sump. then the gate valve you see is used to restrict the flow to match the pump's output. that along with a durso standpipe is a SILENT sump with no water splashing AT ALL!! all you hear is the hum of the of the pump.chonhzilla;4229546;4229546 said:
but i'm gonna switch out the gate valve to a standard valve from a water hose hookup, gate valves arent good for fine tuning flow
