Durso to Herbie...

I have been doing more reading about the drains and may go with Herbie after all. I was running Herbie method in MN before, but realize I was just doing what I thought the guy at the LFS told me to do, so it was working, but wasn't quite right. In FL, decided to go with the Durso, but it seemed to be making too much noise, raising and lowering and so on. Again, just doing what was suggested by other people without understanding and doing correctly. Decided that since the gate valve idea worked on the Herbie, I should try it here as well and it seemed to work. Didn't realize that with the Durso it is not necessary and should not have a gate valve on it. Also read several more people that say it will eventually fail more often than the Herbie than the ones that never had any problems. Might try playing with the Durso the way it's supposed to be over the next few months before the move to see if I can get it to work realistically.

If I end up going with the Herbie, I know there should be a straight shot to the sump, but not sure if the Corner Overflows position will allow this. Any ideas if two 45s PVC fitting to divert it to the tank will impede flow enough to affect the draining? I was thinking two submerged drains in the overflows, one in each, the emergency drain in one of the overflows and then using the last hole for return. Also playing with the idea of running manifold along the back for the return water instead of just the lock fitting. Any ideas on this one?
