Today I redid some plumbing, and it made a huge difference. This is a before pic - The drain line came down from upstairs, then went horizontal for about 24-30" before hitting the 90 elbow for the filter sock. That caused a lot of back pressure, and I couldn't get much flow at all without getting the flushing effect in the durso stand pipe. I had the return pump dialed back at least 60-75%....probably in the 100-150gph range. Here is the after pic - Ran the drain line direct to the filter sock in a constant down angle, put in a 45 elbow to reduce the angle, and removed the ball valve since the nipples seemed to cause back pressure as well(and I never used it). There is much more flow now, and I'm able to run the pump wide open at approx 360gph. Moved the rest of the wall mounted stuff around to fit the new arrangement. Things are already looking better with the increased flow thru the sump, and the added flow in the tank is nice too.
