This is what I came up with for the rebuild of my sump to pump pipe! My concern is that water wont be able to flow through the 90 degree bends fast enough for the pump but I have only 8'' to turn that water 180 degrees. Any thoughts?

The other question I have is about the clear pipe that sits immediately after the pump. It is a one way valve that supposedly will prevent all the water from the tank above from flowing down into the sump via siphon in the even of a power failure. However there are holes in the overflow kit that would break the siphon...if I'm understanding the design correctly. If so, is this piece necessary? It ALWAYS seems to leak and there is a constant salt build up around the joints of it...annoys me.
