Herbie Drain Question

I dont see it being a problem. Your main drain should probably be reduced anyway, as stated above, to help reduce flow and help reduce noise to the sump

Thank you!

Just went back and saw you're running an Abyzz pump at 70%. What kinda flowrate is that, ballpark?

I'm not sure to be honest. I haven't tested it yet.

It looks like you used clear hoses between your plumbing.
On a run to the basement, I would NOT do that, too much weight on the pipes.
They should be supported right after entering the basement.

Thank you. They are. It's just that short section that uses the clear tube.

Got it. Assuming a 9ft drop with the 1in pipe you'll be limited to something in the range of 2000gph.

Pointing that out because i didnt ask if the noise was being made by the emergency drain being drowned if you're running too mich flow. You want just a trickle going down the emergency.

If it is the emergency making the noise, you'll need to throttle the dc pump back below the 70%.
