lol. yeah i like it like that. which i do have a back ground now so it doesnt matter... im chanign the pipe to 1 inch soon though so i might just go straight down with it. but im also adding another valve at the bottom and a port at the top for a vacuum. then i dont have to do anything but turn 2 valves and vaccum away and instead of siphoning into the sump it will just go out the pipe under the house. im betting on the filters keeping any waste out of the bottom so i dont have to vaccuum it.
