Will a Herbie style full syphon work if there are elbows in the drain to the sump? I have a basement sump that needs to be moved from underneath the tank. It will have a z shape to the plumbing to the sump. In other words, down, across with a mild slope and then down again to the sump. Overall it will be about a 20foot run with both drains. I have more than enough pump for the return, so thats not a concern there. I'm also going to use 45 deg. elbows instead of 90 deg to minimize restrictions. Any thoughts or advice?
