Plumbing
I want to redo my plumbling because I have small leak where it hooks to my overflows. First off I have the two corner built in overflows. The way I did it was I put 1" pvc pipeing inside the part that comes out of the tank. The piece that comes out of the tank is threaded what I want to do is get a piece that will thread onto there. Here's where I'm lost what size would that threaded piece need to be? After reading all the plumbing articles I would like to fix mine. Also my sump is to the one side and the one overflow drops dirctly into it. Is there any way to slow that down? Should I be using different size PVC or one?
The way I have it now is the the return pump goes up with a elbow goes straight for a few inches then splits right and left then another elbow then straight up to the tank. I do have check valves. My overflows one comes straight down into sump and the other one comes straight then and elbow then long straight piece then a elbow small straight piece into the sump. Well I hope your not to confused.

Re: Plumbing
What? Could you take some pictures? Why would you want to slow your water coming to the sump?
