<p>It floats due to back pressure which will go away as soon as you give it someplace else to go. Namely a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">vent</span>. That air will compress in the drain line otherwise and lift your bell. Can you cut a hole in the side of the sump just above water level? That could help you a bunch. That up and over can be a tough battle unless you start well above it. Have you tried the weight?

<p>Hi TC. I know. Thank you. Getting cranky in my old age. Been doing all my own plumbing and electric since I built my first dark room at age 10. That's 56 yrs ago. It just gets frustrating as we repeat the same messages or advice over and over. Big problem with forums in general. Advice seems to disappear into the vastness and search never seems to work right. Borders on a joke in my experience. I am thinking of keeping a list of common answers to common questions and just cut and paste. (and you should do the same for sure) It would be interesting to keep a count and when a question reaches say a 10 it should make it into a Q&A page that could become an AP bible of sorts. I realize we have such a page here, sort of, but I don't remember "Vents" being on the list, just as an example. Perhaps good advice to anyone plumbing more than 1 ibc (a common drain) should be to go to the big box store and purchase the cheapest "Plumbing 101" book on the shelf. Would be a good starting place for sure. Vents are to plumbing what grounds are to electric. The first thing they teach you. Well, right after "sh%t runs down hill"</p>
