Ok so I have a 110 DT in the living room with sump under in stand (crowded stand to say the least).
I want to possibly put another (but smaller tank) across the room on the opposite wall. I have the ability to run some flexible PVC down through the floor and run it under the floor and come up on the other side of the room on the opposite wall but here is the catch.....
How can I tie the new tank into the exisiting sump (currently under my original tank) without moving the sump down to the basement....
Meaning:I can put another pump into the exisiting sump and can certainly pump water over to new tank (basically out of sump, down under the floor and up into the tank on the other side of the room obviously can be accomplished with the right pump and head rating etc with no issues... but how can I get the outflow/overflow of the potential new tank to flow back to the originaly existing sump on the other side of the room assuming it needs to follow the same path????....meaning it can flow out of the new tank overflow down through the floor acorss the room to the original sump..... but it would need to rise a foot or two to get back up through the floor and up inot the original sump ......Question is would water flowing from the overflow of new tank be able to accomplish this????.....flow down through the floor, hug the underside of the floor and runn across the 15feet of floor and then up two feet back into the exisiting sump simply on its own.
Now i am fully aware that the best thing to do is move sump to basement but BESIDES that.....can i set up a simple tank on other side of room without moving exixting sump and just have water flow to and from (in a fool proof way meaning pumped from original sump to NEW tank and flow back on its own simple overflow)......just asking?????
