<p>you could also run your drain pipe from your bed in to the line going to your sump with a small air gap between to prevent the siphon you could build an air gap like this cheap</p>

<p>Larger pipe for combined drains is always a good thing. Also, vents as Jonathan notes (the T with a pipe going up above the bed height) can reduce the siphon effect of one bed siphon kicking in and causing the other beds to siphon at the same time. I've used a combination to keep combined drains from being a problem.</p>

<p>It is creating a universal siphon in the one pipe because it is probably not large enough. You could simply put a T in the single pipe and come up to a level above the grow beds to suck air reduce the siphon effect on the other beds. Or just put an oversized pipe in as your main drain line so there is always air.</p>
