So above is how my drain is plumbed to my basement sump. The first drop on the left is about 15 feet then a 10ft horizontal. Because of the location of the sump I had to go up about 3 feet then over and down into sump. Do anyone think this rise causes enough back pressure to affect drain speed? I haven't done any measuring but it feels like I cant get more that 200gph pumping to the tank without a siphon flush thing going on 1" pipe with a Durso or Gurgle Buster.
