    I hooked up my sump and got everything going.. I have a 180 with over flows in each rear corner. My problem is one side drains funny, it gargles. It lets water through, then air, then water, then air, etc and its really annoying. how do i stop this from doint that?

    I've turned it off and turn it on several times.
    I've pushed the drain pipe up, i've pulled it down, brought it back up, and back down. Nothing seems to work.

    the left side drains fine with no problems, its only the right side that does it.

    any advice is apprcieated .
    thanks.

    You may need to put in a Durso Standpipe. That should resolve all the gargling problems you're having.

    hmm. the pipe i have looks pretty much the same. i'll take a pic and post it up.. wonder if i connected the two drains with a T before they went into the sump tank would that help.
