So on the sump size issue, here's what I figured (please feel free to check my math!).
~45ft of pvc per type (3/4" and 2") This is both runs per pipe size added together (rough estimate).
I realize these are outside dimensions, I'm overestimating on purpose. Better safe than sorry.
2" pipes | 3.14 x (1)^2 X45 X 12 = 1695 sq in / 251 = 6.75 Gallons
3/4" pipes | 3.14 x (.375)^2 X 4 5X 12 = 235.5 sq in / 251 = 1 Gallon
+
Tanks runoff | 48 X 20 X 1 = 960 sq in / 251 = 4g x 2 = 8 Gallons
So overestimating it looks like I need to account for about 16 gallons of back flow. For some reason that doesn't seem right, that doesn't seem like enough water. Did I miss something?
If that is correct, a 55g 3/4 full should provide plenty of space for back flow. What am I missing?
