Something that I find suspect is the way you have the drain lines plumbed. Even with a gate valve on one of the drain lines, my concern would be that the flow could change here, if the pressure on one side of the drain shifted to be different than the other... how about running both drains together first, then T off that into two valves, one going to the sump and the other to the skimmer, then set your flow rate to either location using a combination of these two valves. That is how my skimmer is plumbed and I never have problems with the water level. If the air intake gets clogged or shut off, the water level in the skimmer goes down, not up.
